1. while professional help may be what you need, i suggest your first write down all the pluses and minuses. now, take away the pluses.
what do you have?
imagine all the minuses that others have [just look at any part of the metroplex].
what do you have compared to others.
if you decide you need professional help, start w/ counselors or therapists before you go the psychologist, psychiartrist, medical doctor route. your employer may have an Employee Assistance Program.

2. dont ever take your family for granted. you dont want to be the guy on t.v. whose kid or wife died in an accident or shooting and kick yourself in the ass and say "i should have loved them more!!"
spend time with them now!! and even if you wind up divorcing her, stay in friendly contact. she is your son's mother.

3. pick up and read "How to want what you have." a very very good book.
http://www.amazon.com/How-Want-What-.../dp/0805033173

4. as interesting and fun and cool and wild as Shep and Jason may be, until you figure out what you have and what you want, i'll go against other's wisdom and say DONT go out w/ Shep and Jason unless you think you can handle and control yourself when you step off that sexuality cliff with them. unless it's just for some beers or such.

take it easy, but take it!
just be sure what it is you're taking.

lots of good comments here, especially the recommendations to get a motorcycle! but, regardless of the specific form it takes, what you need is something that helps you find your sense of adventure and re-validates you as an ass kicker. find something that ignites your passion and that challenges you! decide to be really good at something! modern man has lost the need to work for survival and it can leave us all feeling purposeless and unfulfilled. seek the hard way!!

OK Meerschaum, as Jewish Lawyer guessed, you may or may not have validation and respect issues with the "old lady." Then again, she may have validation and respect issues with you.

Let's try this:

1. Think how you feel when your son calls you "Daddy."
2. Get one of the ladies you see to start calling you "daddy." Find out how that feels.
3. If #2 does more for you than #1, go immediately to the nearest psychiatrist, do not pass GO, and pay out $200 each time you see him/her until #2 makes you puke.

We all have to grow up sometime. Trust me on this, the tuition to the school of life is much higher the longer it takes.

You might be a lot more broken than you/we think. But, you might not be. Why not find out? Try the exercise, self-improvement route but, be sure to couple it with extra care at home. If that works, great - and I sincerely hope that it does - if not, go see someone whose only "skins on the wall" are sheepskins.

I am already there, except for the kid.

I see a shrink and a therapist for the bipolar thing.

Only thing is when you have been depressed most of your life, going to a middle ground mood is not comfortable so I stop taking the meds. I am easier to get along with taking the meds but I feel like its not really me. This is where I am now, don't know if it gets better or not
From my personal experience with depression, it's very important to seek out a mental health professional. Whether or not you think you need to be in the "Looney Bucket" you must remember that physical health is just as important as your mental health!

Whether or not you have a situational depression, you could have a simple chemical imbalance which can make the most "ideal" situations (A wife, a son, a home, a content life) SEEM very undesirable and lack luster.

Just remember that when you have sex (Hobby Sex or Civiee Sex), your brain releases chemicals and endorphins that make you feel good. For the longest time, I attempted to replace a simple chemical imbalance with sex, sex, sex, and more sex.

Check and see if you have a Chemical imbalance. It's not always about your situation. Anyone can have the best of both worlds (Family and Slut life) and not be able to balance them if they their brain is lacking the right signals and chemicals.
