I feel like a walking mistake

My life was always out of control, I had been able to try to manage it .when I was older . (About me , 30 plus homes ,jail,boys centre )..
I found someone as messed up as me a rape VICTOM and when i say a victim that's no lie. I lived through a lot but my married almost killed me .. I have done things to MYSELF only that I'm ashamed of and had came clean with my wife three years ago . I am now the most hated man this side of the country it seems. I'm just learning to break the cycle of abuse and plan on moving out .. The kicker is that i have 4 great kids and have made it my mission in life, to protect them and love them like i wasn't. Know because of the past issues and the abusive relationship I find that I can't continue with there care in the home . I'll always be there for them and do believe that I would make the better parent but its just not in the cards for now..I hope that in a few years they will live with me and that i will be able once again to , give them the life that they are so entitled to.

" When person has a very unstable and insecure homelife when younger it is really hard to rise above it all and I think that you have done a marvellous job so far.You can assess what you need to do,you are putting your kids first and that is what a non-mistake does.Nobody is a mistake.You have bad experiences and you need to learn from them and be the best you can be.
I think it is a tragedy that you think you are the most hated man.You need love and encouragement not hatred.
Your wife would have been very shocked and I don't know what you can do about that but you need to do everything you can to protect your children so that they can have a better start if life. "

" comingaround - you are a precious child of God, not a walking mistake. It sounds like you have made some mistakes in your life, but you are a vital part of this world, and you are incredibly important to your children. Sounds like you were dealt a lousy hand to begin with, and you haven't found a way out. "When you know better, you can do better," so please get help! If you know that right now you are toxic to your children, then by all means, get out of the home, but don't get out of their lives, just get help. Reach out and get help. You mention "learning to break the cycle of abuse," and that is a VERY serious problem that cannot be tackled alone. Don't let a lack of funds keep you from getting well. You can become the father you want to be, the father those precious children deserve. Reach out for help, and then get to work. You are worth it! God bless you, and your family. "

" I think you are very brave to be making changes at this point in your life. It's very easy to accept the status quo and believe that this is all you really deserve, especially when you've had such a fractured childhood. You are here for a reason and your kids are at the very top of that list. Good luck to you and continue to be brave for your kids. "
