Sad story man. Sorry about your losses.

The best advice I can give you is to ask yourself productive questions. Asking yourself, "How can I run away from my negative thoughts?" Or "How can I escape these feelings" Aren't the best questions to ask yourself. Your subconsciousness most likely will lead you to an outlet and it doesn't care if it's negative or positive, it just leads you to the answer "How do I escape".

What I would do is ask questions like "How can I repair this relationship?" and "How can I spend time with my son". Your brain will lead you to what you think is the best way. Don't ask yourself "What if I blow it again" since that will only lead to more negative questions and answers. If it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out. Easy for me to say, I don't know what you've been through. But what good does that question serve?

And remember it's never bad to ask to yourself "How can I be happy and feel good about myself today?" Your brain will answer.
