I've screwed up my daughter and myself?
going along story...
i'm single father (wife passed away in car accident 7 years ago). , live daughter 11 (just started 5th grade).
problem i've been depressed , not such active person since wife died. (seen psychiatrists, took medication- not going change). got fired because couldnt concentrate @ work- brother hooked me nice paying job in new york- 2 of live in small 1 br apartment in manhattan.
problem i've been stay-at-home hermit recluse few friends (my wife outgoing one) , looks daughter has taken after me.
have babysitter between time finishes school , come home work- on out sit , watch tv in bed , eat take out food (its vegan health restaurant though healthy). sleep in same bed.
brother told me unhealthy , has got me thinking. daughter doesn't seem have friends. try encourage make friends hasnt happened. maybe have gotten attached together- spending our time together. (i don't make friends either). @ 1 point tried talk mother @ private school if daughter have play date girl- rude , unreceptive- , don't feel approaching other mothers again. told daughter (casey) if makes friend- i'll pay shopping spree 2 of them- she's why can't go instead. defeats point.
sad thing is- having daughter around feel i'm depriving of full childhood. daughter smart (i built vocabulary when little , great in school). , she's best friend ( sounds pathetic know). thing life messed up. make money- compared rest of family- i'm failure. she's saving grace- know spend waaaay time her.
, don't want end me. not fulfilling potential. she'll alma mater sure (yale), if gets personality she's not going have fulfilling life. embarrassing- have crying spells couple of nights week , since sleep in same bed, wakes , hugs me comfort me. it's pathetic daughter has comfort father. i'm not sure how change. tried 7 years , best can do.
non-ideal. want have common perceptions of how messed is. need 2 br apartment withing next year or two. besides that?what not having friends? isn't strange girl age?
