| I just want to let you know, people are here to help you out. Start-up people (from my experience anyway) are the outcasts, but being different is what liberates us. We stick together, help out in any way we can, and share in our successes AND failures. I commend you for not only getting over the fear of taking the start-up leap, but also being honest with everyone on Hacker News. There are VERY few people I know with that amount of bravery, and it is something you should be proud of. You are not an idiot, and your father probably just doesn't fully understand what happened. Everyone has problems, but often hide behind a false mask of growth and prosperity. Things are not always what they seem. I'm sure the people here on HN would be happy to help you out in any way possible, including myself. We need to stick together in the good times and the bad. Things will get better. They will. |
