Just a thought:
Not all characters are redeemable. There's a line that once it's crossed, no matter what they do, the character can't be forgiven. And if they're the protagonist, impossible to root for.

Just some very general advice, apropos of nothing:
If you're smart enough to hire a professional for advice, be smart enough to listen to what they tell you.
e.g., don't hire an attorney to advise you on your divorce (or anything, really) and then ignore what they tell you.

Whenever I get home I sit in my car for a few minutes before going in. Once I go inside someone is going to want something.

Through their service and sacrifice, Maine’s veterans haven’t just made our state great. They’ve helped shape our country.
During the Civil War, Maine sent a higher % of its population to fight than any other Union state. Mainers have served with distinction in every major conflict since. (1/3)

Not always on the same side (I have an ancestor who fought for the British in the Revolution and my maternal grandmother's people fought her husband's people in the Civil War), but there's a long tradition of military service in my family, at least one per generation. I was the last one. 1/2
