Bad divorce, abusive partner. dust settled,

have a will with my daughter's starting today. had a trip planned and all, was going to take them camping.

but instead she won't let me have one of my daughters.

I'm tired of no one taking this seriously,

I also learned that she didn't report tonthe courts that I paid her alimony, now the courts want me to pay again.

The thoughts are back, ending my life is the only way I see to improve my life.

i know this will be ignored

Have you ever heard the phrase “fake it till you make it”? Your thoughts become your reality. If you say you are powerless then you are.

I'm an undocumented immigrant (against my will) in Trump's America. A concentration camp is a very likely outcome for me.

If that is the case at least it could radicalize your daughters to fight for human rights. Even that would be a better outcome for your family than suicide.

You are going through a tough time like I will never know. Just know that at this time you are free. You are not bound unless you bind yourself. And that means you can choose what to do next, and your choices may improve your situation. You are in a mind prison but I cannot break you out. I’m just showing you that the door is open for when you choose to walk out.
