I wouldn't exactly call that irredeemable. You are doing a better than a lot of people who don't have a mental illness. And nobody is perfect. We all have baggage. We've all been hurt at some point and some of us have hurt others. At the very least, we all have dents and scratches on our psyches even if we don't have to see a shrink. You're a good guy, Dennis, and worthy of a good life. Believe it because it's true.
