In 2017 I walked away from a business that paid me over 1m a year. I had a 1yr old daughter and my new wife, 12 years my younger still had corporate goals she wanted to reach. Even though her income is good, it was insignificant to my earning potential. However, I’d had enough. After a failed marriage and the constant drive for success I felt I had let my first child down (she was 3 at the time my wife left 2006) all my success came post 2006 and i started the grind in 2008. My first child didn’t have what I grew up with - stable home and two loving parents - I had her weekly and we are close but it has always niggled me that I failed her in this respect.
So back to 2017, I resigned, negotiated an exit from the shares, sold below market value to exit immediately.
I now have a boy and a girl 7/8 respectively whom I’ve been there daily for and I see my 20 yr old regularly.
I like to think that I am a good father rarely have cause to raise my voice and my young kids are well adjusted and very polite and happy. Both excel at school regarding people skills.
In 2020 I discovered Bitcoin and with my financial background, it clicked immediately. My new wife is a lawyer who is slowly opening her eyes to the fiat world but she isn’t ready to embrace Bitcoin so i travel this epoch alone.
In January 2025 I will have traversed my first cycle and god it’s been painful and stressful but I’m a fighter and I can see what’s going on around me. Slowly but surely my eldest daughter is now starting to get it, as I point her in the right direction of books to read . She is now asking the right questions. However, Our relationship can be stormy because she can be aggressive like her mother.
I have learnt to be patient with her and kind because this is not her fault.
Kindness and patience will rise above any trait a human can possess because that’s what makes us human. I’m a better father now than I’ve ever been.
