I've seen too much in this life. I had a mother who hurt me as a child. My father took his life on my birthday and I found him. I was changed by war in Iraq (05-06, 08-09), I worked in a jail and seen too much there. I was an addict to numb myself. I cheated on my ex-wife I feel shame. I feel a need for redemption. I'm sorry, god. My hard life isn't an excuse for my sins. I just want to say I'm sorry, and these sins aren't who I am.
I am sorry to hear that from you, may God heal you and guide you through your hardship.
"Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me."

2 Corinthians 5:17 'Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things have become new' You have battled hard to overcome many hardships in life, and you should be proud of yourself for getting this far. Remember that God does not see your past, but rather plans your future. Have no fear for he is with you. God bless you and I pray for you🙏🏻
