Thanks for NOT keeping your fingers still. I think I might post my top post here on "Surviving" to see what I can get in temrs of advice as well. You guys have been great, and it's good to here a variety of answers. Ahh..the friends. You know what's weird? All the neighbors who were so supportive of me before I left for Iraq have not contacted me once!

I'm having lunch today with GLTC! He was my roommate at Ft. Bragg. A highly competent African American officer who went through the same thing with his W. 2 years ago. He single handedly raised three outstanding dauhgters while his W. was diengaged for the last 6-7 years. He got custody of all three of his daughters, who he does homework with via the internet 4 hourrs before his 16 hour day starts here in Iraq. He took charge of his life when his W. walked out. He lived for his girls and found and married a wonderful woman almost immediately after his wife divorced him. He was detemrined to reclaim his life. He's a great friend to talk to.
