Five months ago, my son screamed at me saying very hurtful and emotionally devastating things, then walked out of my life. Right after that, my wife left me and shoved a divorce down my throat after 24 years of marriage. She cited I deserved what my son did to me and she was choosing him over me. And what did I learn from this whole experience? Well first of all, never think that you mean anything at any time, for any reason to your wife. When it comes down to it, she will just dump you like trash with a smile on her face. What hurts the most is the loss of my son.

The heartbreak experienced, goes beyond words. It’s an indescribable pain that pierces deep into the core of my being. When a fathers heart is broken, it echoes in the silence of empty rooms and permeates every aspect of his life. It’s a constant reminder of the love they had and the emptiness he now feels. It’s constant emotional pain from the moment he wakes up to the minute he goes to sleep.

The emotions are overwhelming and unbearable at times. Fathers are expected to be strong and stoic, but behind closed doors, they battle with grief, anger, and an overwhelming sense of loss. The heartbreak of a man is a heavy burden to carry. I know, I am going through it now.
