Hi all,
I know this isn't a counselling site or anything such, but just wanted to write something hoping for some positivity.
I used to get on really well with my parents, siblings and wife. I was a fun person to be with, always positive and laughing. Family meant everything to me. Really good job, (director of two companies and manager at two others. They are all sister companies/subsidiaries). I have a really good life.
Recently (about a month and a half), I've fallen out with my parents. We just about talk. They're always mad at me and I'm always mad at them. Same with siblings. We just avoid each other now. Its only the Mrs I get along with. I still work, although I dont enjoy it as much, but can't bring myself to quot as I love these companies. I've watched them grown from nothing to everything.
I've started to hate life though. I dont know what seems to he the issue. I feel that its because I'm a real family man, falling out with the family is whats caused me to feel depressed and down. Sometimes when I'm driving, I just wish that a car would hit me hard so I dont have to go through this anymore. I dont feel suicidal. I could never take my own life. I just feel really down. And I think its because of the rift with my parents and siblings.
Anyway, hope you guys can spread your positive energy and give me tips to get back on track.
Thanks
Just need a little help...

Some really good advice and comments on this thread.
As most have said talking to someone is really good - and fair play to you for taking the steps with this article. It doesn’t stop there though; continuing to talk, address the issue and find the true root cause of the issues is important. Which many professionals can help with - hope and know all will work out

A heartfelt thank you to all of you. Yeah, I'm just going to offer an olive branch and make peace with them all. Really appreciate all your comments. My dad came over to one of our warehouses today after a long time and seemed quite calm. So that was definitely a plus point. Hoping to patch things up and get everything back to normal.

If both you and your family want to make up then you will I'm sure. Good luck.

Communication really is the key to all relationships.
What you think your family think and what they actually think are probably completely different and the same with them and you.
Good luck - one step forward at a time.

Give it some time, give each other some space, join a gym (or any hobby you're interested in) and then just see if you can enjoy yourself with your family over Christmas.
With your jobs, it will always sound stressful, regardless of Covid so maybe that has subconsciously taken it's toll on you over the months, who knows.

Remember to m*sturbate before making any life changing decisions. If it still seems like a good idea immediately post nut then it probably is.

Be honest mate, is this whole article one big metaphor for being a United supporter? Is the family Man United and the work being a supporter? That’s just how it is being a United fan these days.
