#personal war

We’re…very much alike, the Punisher and I…each of us are fighting a very personal war.

My level of anxiety equals that of a general sending troops to their deaths against a relentless enemy. The troops being my funds and the enemy being bills and living expenses.

Does it sound rediculous? That's because it is.

Here I am, waging a war I will never win. No surrender, no escape. I just have to keep fighting, because my people are counting on me. They expect me to feed them, to clothe them, to take care of their needs and give them my time. They badger me with their wants and object to discipline, not understanding what I sacrifice for them.
