Don't get me wrong. I've been through some shit, and the death of the kids' mom was horrible on all of us, especially my son, but goddammit I'm so tired of seeing blackpilled fuckheads give up before their trials even begin.
My son was 11 years old when his mom died. He openly contemplated suicide, believed nothing mattered, got in a ton of trouble at school, and gave me the only panic attack I've ever experienced. But one day, I got tired of hearing that defeatist bullshit, smacked him across the face, and essentially told him he was a bitch for giving up.
I explained to him that he was taking on all these adult problems and emotions, but forgot to be a fucking kid. I told him it wasn't his job to be a man yet, and to let me do my job, shoulder this for the family and that I would teach him how to be a man when he was ready. Almost immediately, he stopped getting in trouble, and started getting back into little boy interests like cars, guitar, and Legos. We just finished a 10 mile bike ride together yesterday, and he's helping his grandad change a power steering pump later today.
Life isn't fucking easy. If it was, it wouldn't be worth it.
