I guess what I am saying is I owe my wife and kids a change..I am and have always been short tempered with them (I treat the cats and strangers better than I treat my wife and kids..how sad is that!?!?) and have failed in my duties as a man and a father and need to pick up the pace or get out of the way....this is the only way I know how and as Dave Ramsey (and countless others) said you find those that are doing what you wish you were doing and learn how they did it..well all the guys I see who have great families and happy kids the 1st thing they do is get God...and I have to get God...and God told me to sell my guns..that's step 1..I guess thru further prayer and clawing my way I will get step 2 and step 3 and so on and so forth..but I gotta be willing to take the 1st step happily (even though deep down its "reaaly reaaaaly hard to let go of my guns)

Gotta start somewhere right?
