Today is just a bad day for alot of us. It has been 6 months since I last laid in bed with my wife or talked to her. I think its milestones like this that make life manageable and more difficult at the same time. It's kind of similiar to your situation Jeff. You have and will keep going through so many emotions. The more I think about it, the more I still don't understand why people get to the point where they feel like their back is against the wall and they are caged and have to get out or "it will get them." What is that it? Your wife says it is the kids, my W said it was "stalking". But in reality, that "it" is just self serving and searching for the next high of an illicit endeavour.
