I lost my wife of only 2.4 years into our marriage from lung cancer and brain cancer. lost her in May I had her children come into our house and stole everything that was there even to the outdoor pavers. I payed for it all and now don’t only have my wife but my home and bed . The laws in this country are so screwed up that I’ve gave up . In doing that I’ve slipped bk in to some extra drug use to try to forget but nothing helps long story to how much I love her. Every day since I lost her I haven’t cried unless the extra stuff. … bad thing is she would beat the hell out of me if I’d even though of that back then .lol So either walk around looking crazy f@#3 up or a crying all day Every

@Grivinghusband69 you have been dealt a raw deal. Please don’t let drugs ruin your life, go to see your doctor and get some professional help. Your wife’s family have really overstepped the mark with their behaviour
@Grivinghusband69 your wife’s family should be totally ashamed of themselves. That’s disgusting behaviour
