I used to be the guy who had it all figured out

Had a great job, fit body, nice car, was going places. Then life happened. Custody battle drained my savings, stress caused health issues, and I had to take a step back from my career to be more available for my kids. On paper I look like I regressed. But my relationship with my kids is unreal now and honestly I'm happier than I was when I had all that stuff. Just took me losing it all to understand what actually mattered.

That's rough man. The car and the title stuff doesn't matter nearly as much once you're fighting for time with your kids. But yeah the financial hit from a custody battle is no joke.

Custody battles are brutal. I've been there and the financial and emotional drain is unlike anything else. You'll rebuild though. The job and the body thing will come back if you want it to, but honestly priorities get different.

Had a job I thought defined me. Lost it because I was too mentally scattered during my divorce. Best thing that happened in a weird way. Got my priorities straight but man the cost of getting there was high.
