I am ashamed to say that my dictatorship has cost my family dearly. I have no one left. I have lost my son and wife as well as my future daughter-in-law all because of some stupid dead guy I refused to bury. I have to say though my family has escaped to the afterlife while I am left to deal with the consequences of my actions. I believe I am being punished, and for a good reason. I am left with my brother-in-law’s daughter, but she simply reminds me of what I have done. She looks at me with hate filled eyes, but says nothing. I sometimes wish she would scream and throw things at me. Anything would be better than the silence between us. I try to be nice to her but fail miserably.
My dictatorship has left me hollow and hurting. I wish I had my son’s adoring eyes staring up at me, I wish I could kiss my beautiful wife and watch her knit, but most of all I wish I could go back in time and forgive Antigone for her crime. If I could, I would bury Polyneices myself, if only I could get my family back.

I’m not very good at identifying my flaws, and this has cost me to lose a lot of respect within my own country. You, on the other hand, seem to have a good grasp on what you did wrong and what you need to take from this unfortunate situation. I know it can be difficult especially when you’re dealing with so many hardships on top of one another, but I can guarantee you that this has happened for a reason. You are a changed man. Imagine what kind of ruler you would be today if none of those horrible experiences had happened. It’s morbid to think about, but it will help you in the long run, trust me. We all make decisions and choices that we wish we could take back, but we can’t. Instead we have to learn to live with them and move on. Give it time, things will get better.
