My Grandma told me about the tramps from when she was a little girl. Decent, homeless men who would travel around outside pretty much outside of society. The accepted thing was to give them a cup of tea when they asked. You'd also give them bread and butter (and, if you had it, cake). They then go on their way again.

If you heard all that do you really think he was in a position to say ok all that doesn’t matter when it’s my daughter I’ll just keep rational? Seriously, the man was barely able to stay alive, he had suicide thoughts right left and center, he was breaking mentally and your only thought is to guilt trip him with “but why leave the daughter? She didn’t do anything. “This is why mental health isn’t getting treated enough, because people who are supposed to be rational and thinking just don’t think. So here’s the answer to your unthinking and rather self righteous question. A broken mind cant think to coddle other people when it’s trying to justify its own death.

Props to Bob for his quick thinking. You are a real DudeBro

He most likely suffered a psychotic break

I was so scared OP was about to khs 😮‍💨 Also the fucking nerve of that woman😤

Damn his daughter caught one hell of a stray

At least OP didn’t hop a train and join the Benzini Brothers Traveling Circus.

Honestly Bob is a good man, he was violent yes, but all he knew was that he's protecting his family, and when he realised the truth he was ready to take responsibility for what he has done.

When OP was talking about feeling nothing and everything sounding muffled, it reminded me of when my dad confessed to us that he was having an affair with a young woman in his hometown. He said her parents were basically selling her to him since he was considered rich there. He even went to hotels with her but he insisted that nothing sexual ever happened, only kissing at most (I never believed this). I remember feeling the same way OP did. Years later, my sister showed me a photo she found from our dad’s phone of him and a younger girl in a towel. The girl looked younger than me. It was a short while after that that my mom revealed to me that she had known he was cheating with multiple college students that he and his charity club were sponsoring. I just find it ironic that he kept bashing his clubmates before about how they’re all cheaters and their wives all like him because he’s the only loyal man there and how he convinced one member to stop cheating. He made it seem like he was changing them, but, in reality, they were changing him. He had always been a misogynist but I didn’t consider him full trash when I was a kid because I thought at least he was loyal, but I have no love left for him ever since my sister showed me that photo.

Bob doesn’t need to be a cop

A man can handle all the pressure in the world but it doesn’t change the fact that the only people who can break a man is the ones he loves the most

so this is an outer body experience as a result of trauma, i have been through something like this.

Dude the father payed the mortgage? What a G

Funny how he bitched about being an accessory. But then he treated his daughter like an accessory to his wife. He barely talked about her outside of his wife

I like how the Ex wife tries to get him back. She apperantly doesnt understand the pain she put him in. I would have kept my word and put Bob NC and get him dismissed. Police violence is never looked over. Especially if the person is white which i would say he is.

He lost a wife, but gained freedom...

OP, no one saved you. You saved yourself and the process made you stronger and wiser. You're not broken. You're mended and the cracks of a break always show through, but they make us what we are. Maybe the cracks made you less blindly trusting, but that's not all bad either since not everyone out in the world has your best interest at heart and there are people who would love to use you. If and when you're ready to be more social, you have some skills that you could teach to adults- hunting and other things that you do to survive on your own.... Lots of people would LOVE to learn that sort of thing, and would pay good money for it or trade for things you want. It's also a way to make connections without having to be responsible to those people for life. It's awesome that you healed enough to see your daughter clearly. You said that she was shocked when you told your wife that you knew about the affair. Kids rarely think of their parents as worthy of their gratitude. She just hadn't ever thought about thanking you because it wasn't modeled for her by her Mom. I thank my husband for driving us places when he drives and for cooking for us or buying us a nice dinner out. I try to keep in mind that I'm modeling politeness and gratitude for my son and it's panned out.

God damn, these people gave this guy a villain mentality.

I hadn’t read the updates, thanks. 🙏🏼

Shame on those who called him an a$$ he has done nothing wrong but be the victim he has been emotionally and physically neglected with not even a shred of a thank you from the people he gave everything for you have no idea what he has gone through even now and those who do shouldn’t even be thinking of talking down to him I don’t know what he’s going through but I’ve been through enough to see why and I say he’s done more than most people in the world right now he is just the victim of a society who doesn’t care congratulations to him he’s finally figured it out

Adam… and Eve…? Adam.. and Eve.. Adam. and Eve. ADAM AND EVE

The hell dude tell on that cop he would definitely loose his job and charge him for assault. You really needed to stand up for yourself

It’s messed up that OP just lumped his daughter in with his wife as if the kid did anything wrong. She’s just a kid.

This broke my heart so much. My tears keep leaking so much. Yeah, he overreacted; but I get it. The pain is so bad that your brain disassociates to help you survive.

Ikr, like, you can help the homeless with literally any sort of job... Bob's way of solving conflicts, on the other hand, is absolutely incompatible with being a cop

I’ve felt what Op feels - I’m a woman. I’m not depressed but I see behind the curtain - all this is an illusion.

you guys pick and choose when kids should be treated like kids. you guys are mad at a 13 year old, like please unclench for a second and take the bitterness out of your hearts.

Males think they are the law and that they can decide when they care for children. Its really sickening how everyone think its okay for a grown up man to walk out on his underage daughter cause his ego been hurt...

When said kid watches her uncle beat her defenseless father half to death and blames her father for it knowing full well it was her mother's lies? Such a mystery why "she's just a kid" doesn't quite cut it. She's 13 not 3.

​@@jakeand9020Did you literally missed the part where it said she was screaming every time he hit him?? She was worried she didn't want this she is being forcibly dragged into it. Frankly his wife is a child abuser for forcibly dragging their daughter into her mistakes.

This... This is trully an horror story.

*Adam* And *Eve* EVE IS A SNAKE.

Happy that he realised the 13-year-old is a 13-year-old. Not going to have adult reactions and are working on their relationship on both sides. Happy that his friend recognised the warning signs before OP did something more permanent. I do not stan Bob. Don't even meh at the ex.

This sounds alarmingly enticing.

I would've called the State Police on Bob.

If this is real (comments made me unsure anymore) REPORT BOB

Edit; well done to bob

In all of these stories, are there actually any a man with mental health issues is cared about and concerned for in a non-selfish way , proactively, and not after years of neglect or abuse because people area kinds of quick to jump in the “he must be the villain” bandwagon. It’s depressing as hell, especially on top of real life.

My heart goes out to OP.

Moreso to the daughter, hopefully she grows up to not be like either parent.

@@smiley4995 As someone who has dealt woth the deeper recesses of depression, I can't so easily ignore the dad. What he described was a complete mental breakdown without guidance. I am from Canada, so I dunno if the mental health facilities are the same, but we do have residences for high functioning people with mental disorders and it is disturbing how many of them are just picked up wandering the streets, unaware of their conditions. And sadly, this affects men disproportionately. Not saying the dad is disabled, but I am saying that depression is a hell of a mindfuck and shouldn't be ignored. Note: I am not discrediting the daughter's plight, just that the man's plight resonated hard with me.

he definitely needs a therapist bc that isnt everyone

lmao Daughter hears that her mom cheated and immediately goes to bat for OP against her mom. OP gets sad and disappears for 6 months intending not to pay child support. bruhhhhh

Here I thought she was my best fried. Okay robot.

Sell the house, sell the car, sell the kid I'm never coming back.

I don’t agree leaving the child, 14 yo girl. And i definitely say it is the parents job to build and keep a good relationship with your child.

im glad he got his life together

I don't know if this was an AITA post, but I'd say he wasn't because he obviously wasn't in a place, mentally or emotionally, where he could take care of his daughter. I do think it's a bit sad that it took strangers on the internet for him to understand that his daughter was another victim in this mess, not a part of the cause.

❤ Thank you brother

bro is like buddha who realized how meaningless life was and got severe existential problem. His mental health was dragged through the first layer of hell and back.

This man really went psycho and reach enlightenment

Man, I hate when my best fried cheats on me with their work college 😔

Bro went ex-communicado

Screw bob he has no right to lose control not with the power he hold for being a piggy

These fly off the handle super emotional reactions to finding out your wife is cheating in most of these stories are ridiculous. Knowing what the possible consequences of divorce are for men any sane husband would take the time to gather evidence and/or file for divorce before they even say a word to the wife. I get that it's a shock, but unless you have zero self preservation instincts this just isn't a realistic reaction.

OP is *not* a massive piece of shit, he is broken.

Nothing like being alone in a crowd eh?

Bob is a very good man.

My heart broke for this man .. ptsd without A doubt ..

I feel bad for this guy

Only non POS in the story is the kid 😅

His friend saved his life by taking away his bullets or shells

I know there’s a lot to shit to give OP for abandoning his daughter. However, he was clearly spiraling and I can’t shake the impression that he would have committed suicide shortly after had he not distanced himself from the everything. Shitty as the decision was, it may well have been the less of two evils in the long run.
