A dead-beat dad abandons his wife and children . Make me sympathize with him .

I could n't do it anymore, i could n't handle the sadness that seemed to now be a permanent feature of their faces. 
 
 I hated drinking, but it was the only time i would forget, forget the terrible, disappointment of a person that i am. 
 
 I never meant to hit my wife, she was the love of my life, the only thing that gave me meaning, but now i had become this empty shell of a man. 
 
 The financial crisis was the beginning of it all, the domino that collapsed my life upon itself. 
 
 Then the poor job market was the next domino to fall, pushing me further into my Alcoholism. 
 
 My wife did n't look at me like she did when we were younger, free and innocent. 
 
 My children did n't speak to me anymore, this brought on the anger. 
 
 Anger and Alcohol make for a dangerous cocktail. 
 
 I did n't want to leave my family, but i knew if I stayed any longer i would only make their lives more miserable. 
 
 This is the only way out, the life insurance will give my family a better life anyway. 
 
 Click. 
 
 Bang.
