Oh man. Why am I doing this

What should I do to stop beating myself up about my fuckups from the past five years?

[djtraumahawk]

Don't. Don't stop beating yourself up. That lesson should stay with you. Just don't let it consume you. Like a battle scar, you can look at it and remember, but the scar shouldn't permanently disable you from livin' the rest of your life.

Yeah, you fucked up, and lost time at home with the family, but you gained a hell of a lot of memorable experience, you gained time with your man, who it sounds like you might marry (didn't think that would happen did ya?)

Find the balance of appreciation for the gains & knowledge and the inner ass-whoopin's of your losses. And remember what got you there. Don't do it again, because the second time will be a lot worse, and there'll be more to regret.

I'd love to ask a question but I can't think of any serious ones. Three rum & Sprites later and all I got is sarcasm.

[djtraumahawk]

Then ask a non serious one! LOL I'm playing Halo and drinking a beer so.... Just don't be mean. :P

Can I trade one of my kids for a beagle? Something just as cute and energetic but more sociable and obedient?

[djtraumahawk]

Yes, go ahead, but remember, at least the kid is potty trained and doesn't go around sniffing other kid's buttholes.
