Journaling after a long time. Things seem to be going better, there is a lot of "us" talk, still, not much physical contact, but no displays of anger. She calls me more and stays on the phone longer - I think I am starting to get a better hang of this "listening" thing! I think both of us are in a better place, and we have a lot of work to do, but I am grateful for the start. I am still undecided on where to go for counseling and would appreciate any pointers others might have. I want to make sure that this time around, we work hard and consistently on the R, other times, it has been the kids, extended family and our R always took the backseat and I am hell bent on making sure we don't repeat those mistakes again - not sure if our R can take one more of these separations..
