Anyway, then last night, I mentioned that S3 had been keeping my mom & I up for all hours and he said he couldn't wait to have to stay up all night w/ S3. It made me feel guilty. I don't think he was trying to make me feel guilty, but at the same time, it's like "yeah, I understand what you are saying, but how long will that last before it gets old for you too?" I didn't really say that, but it makes me kind of irritated/mad that I feel guilty b/c I know he misses the boys, but I've been doing this alone for how long now?
RHF, I would doubt very seriously that he was trying to make you feel guilty. Almost 2 years ago, my wife and the girls had to leave and go stay with her mom. Her dad had a stroke and was/is in a nursing home and her mom had fallen and broken her hip. So my wife went there to help her mom and was gone for almost 2 months. I remember those phone calls and how much I missed my girls, the good things and the bad (up all night !) I could tell that my wife had the same guilty feelings but it was not my intentions.
I know how you get feeling though...A little different situation, but when my wife was pregnant with second daughter she ended up spending close to 4 months in the hospital with very severe hyperemethis (Spelling ???....morning sickness) She could not even keep water down without throwing it back up. Anyways, that left me to take care of our other daughter, work, take care of house, daily visits to hospital, etc.... it just really wears on you.
Hang in there kid Gives you that much more to look forward to when he comes home Home in December? and home again for good when ?
