About this faith thing, you are finally getting it. It's in the foxholes that people stop being atheists. Nothing like incoming 105mm artillery to make you pray to a God you willfully ignored until you needed him. And that's human nature.
I just look around at the things in the world...from the huge varieties of trees, the bugs, the animals, everything, and know that a God is real, and that he created all of this solely for our enjoyment. Therefore, the world is a paradise play-park that we can all enjoy if we figure out how NOT to be cunts to one another long enough, and go out into the world with the right attitude and the right perspective.
This, too, shall pass, Barney. Right now, it sucks. Assholes and dirty feet, no less. But in time, this will pass, and you'll get back to being the awesome person you've always been, but with a little less responsibility and a little more baggage. Such is life. Smoke, drink, party, game it up, and enjoy your gift. Life's waaay to short to not squeeze every fucking drop of awesome out of it. 100 years if you're lucky, and it comes and goes in the blink of an eye. Forget the bad, focus on the awesome.
That's all I've got. Take care, brother, and keep the chin up.

Thanks for sharing your burden, Barney. You honour us.
Reading and thinking about your broken/beating heart is hard.
There are beautiful, caring posts in this thread.
You are not alone.

There's an amazingly appropriate quote by Joseph Campbell, "We must let go of the life we had planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us."
That's damn right.

With kids in the picture, it seems like there's no shortcut. Gotta be a real, honest god adult and get your emotional ass kicked till you get through it.

If your marriage is dead, don't look at it as a "failed marriage". That's a trap as big as any in history. Think of it as one chapter closing and a new chapter opening. Life is a journey - a story - and you are the main character in your story. Just because that chapter has closed doesn't mean the story ended...just that the chapter ended. Look forward, not backward. Your story can be AMAZING, you simply have to have the perspective that allows you to realize that bad things happen to good people, and that one stumble, however large, does not end your story.
