That's true.

Be glad you have a wife and kids. I hope to have that someday and at least give my parents a grandchild before they go.

I can understand losing your folks though. That's harsh, really harsh.

If it makes you feel any better, by the time I'm old and die, I won't have many people at my funeral either, because by that time, my folks will be gone, and when that happens, my brother will no longer talk to me. The only reason we see each other is because of my parents, but he hates my guts for the lifestyle I choose to live. I don't hate it him at all, and that's why religion gets to me so much.

Anyways, I hope things get better for you. May I suggest you go see a councillor (sp?) for this? You don't have to start taking medicine, but just go see someone to talk to about this and get things off your chest. I did it for the longest time and my guy listened to every frustration I had on my mind. It really helps too.

I know you have a wife and such, but sometimes, talking with someone trustworthy outside of the family circle is healthy.

Good luck.
