After shirking my responsibilities as a father for three years

Yes, I'm back here after gaining 40 pounds (my maximum record) due to stress, lack of self-care, and three years of making excuses in my head. My wellbeing had been deteriorating rapidly, but it has finally stopped right this second, today. Whatever life throws at me, I will fight back with all of my strength. My happiness is not worth the strain of my job, the ongoing deterioration of my family, or my financial status. It won't be simple because of the cost of living and social acceptance, but it will all be worthwhile in the end.
