I agree with both what and Dave.

MCing with someone who has their eyes out the window and lies and is cold is an awful experience! It makes me think it was a waste of time especially when they just roll their eyes and you are sinking in the ocean and they do not even throw a lifesaver!

And Dave is right on about how the WAS rationalizes how the can leave their own kids. The may blame, be in denial, basically act like an addict. I just have to keep reminding myself that my H is on the same level as a homeless teen or a crack addict. Someone who leaves a home and family to lead an alternative lifestyle free from responsibilities and morals.

Holidays can be rough. You are far from home so that makes it much harder. We have several guys home for a few days and they are still having a rough time actually being home. Yep, a real let down in the relationships department for some of these guys who come home.

For me, a real source of strength have been some of these military wives who have been cheated on and let by their Hs. Some are bitter so I avoid them, but some are strong.

I wish you strength and hope for a better future. I almost feel like we will both be better off without all this lunacy someday.
