My life story is same like you sir, depressed, suicidal and marriage with a woman that ended with divorce, but now I am in America looking to make my life. I love your thoughts, they are a replica of my life full of struggles, pain, rejection from my parents. I wish the world was open minded and respect everyone like human beings should do.
