I’m out of the hospital. Lucky and I are taking the night to rest and get used to home but if you have questions ask them. I will try to address things in a post tomorrow.

Are you ok? I understand what you’re going through with the major depression. I have it too and I have wanted to die myself. Timelord has helped me alot. If you need to talk about stuff just comment on my blog.
No, I’m not really okay as I have posted in my next post.
Oh THANK YOU GOD!!!!! It’s good to have you back and hear from you again!!
:) I’ve kept you in my prayers, as have many here.
Thank goodness. There have been a lot of people who have been very worried about you, Zach. Myself included. I know we haven’t always got along for various reasons, but maybe this experience has woken up some people and maybe you’ll finally get the assistance you need to resolve the issues that pushed you to the point you got to. I won’t ask you for the details of your treatment, because I don’t think that’s any of my business – and I will also resist another salvo aimed at SH (I hope you saw what I said about her on the thread you removed – if you didn’t that’s OK, I understand).
Anyway – take advantage of whatever’s offered to you that you think can help. Strike while the iron is hot (as they say). Now is the time to “demand” the help you believe you need.
Just while I’m here – I looked at the post where you asked about suicide and compared it to capital punishment. Capital punishment is for criminals – and bad ones at that. You aren’t a criminal. I come from a country where capital punishment is not legal. And I personally do not believe in it FWIW. Suicide is not the answer. It is never the answer and it never will be – especially under the circumstances you are faced with. It’s not fair to Katelyn or your unborn daughter. What you need is inner strength and stability – and the latter is something I know plenty about. I might display it in ways that some (like yourself) might not like. But remember this;
You have the right to be yourself, and no one can take that away from you.
If SH is referring to Suzanne Higgs she does not need any more salvos, she has had enough. Shes loosing her grand daughter, which if its any fraction of the pain I feel for loosing my daughter is enough.
Plus Suzanne is not at fault, Kate and I had sex and we promised to wait until marriage – a promise we broke and are paying for now. Suzanne has in my honest belief now that im a bit more level headed always acted in a fair and decent manner.
I know now’s not the time to debate the point, but in this day and age (even when you promise and I accept that you feel bad about breaking said promise) it’s actually quite acceptable in general to have sex before marraige. Yes I know there are consequences, and I assume you are going to face them, and that’s the right thing to do.
One thing confuses me though – what’s changed? Throughout the lead up to November 7, you were painting Suzanne as the bad one and Katelyn as the victim. Now it seems the blame has switched? *stunned look*
My perception of reality was skewed. It has now been adjusted thanks to some help from the hospital.
Sure there are reasons I could continue to attack Suzanne, shes not perfect after all – but then I’m far from it as well.
Welcome to the rest of your life, man.
Take care, yeh?
“Plus Suzanne is not at fault, Kate and I had sex and we promised to wait until marriage – a promise we broke and are paying for now.”
Sex is for grown-ups, not kids.
If she was too young to have sex without her mom’s permission, then she was too much of a child to have sex at all. If she was adult enough to genuinely consent to sex, then she was too old to need her mom’s permission to have sex.
I made a promise To Katelyn’s parents no sex before marriage. It was not about permission but about values.
“I made a promise To Katelyn’s parents no sex before marriage. It was not about permission but about values.”
Refusing to have sex with someone who’s too young to consent for herself is about values too.
Its not about her age, its about marriage. Christians believe in no sex before marriage.
Katelyn is 21.
“Its not about her age, its about marriage. Christians believe in no sex before marriage.”
I understand that, I just don’t understand why you promised it *to Katelyn’s mother too* instead of *just to Katelyn herself.*
Why wasn’t making the promise to Katelyn herself enough? After all, you say she’s 21.
Unless a 21-year-old’s got some kind of learning disability that hurts his or her ability to make decisions for himself or herself, he or she should be old enough by now to make these decisions for himself or herself. If the 21-year-old still isn’t able to make these decisions for himself or herself (a la the 26-year-old described at http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7304698.stm ) then whomever has custody of the 21-year-old giving a 3rd person the go-ahead to have marital sex with the 21-year-old would basically be arranging forced marriage and possibly marital rape.
Glad you’re back with us. But please stop doing that. Take care of yourself.
I’ll try too.
