Congratulations on being strong during the court room portion. I dread going home to face a divorce. I really want to thank you for sharing with me about you "going for a rest", and being so open about your desperation. (Loved the phrase. LOL!) As you may recall, I almost checked out on my prescription medications in 2006, and spent 10 days "resting" myself. It is a darkness those who have never visited can understand. There were 3 suicides yesterday here in Iraq. One kid actually jumped out of a helicopter at 300 feet. Most of the suicides here are due to the loss of a spouse or significant other. People are amazed at how these Soldiers respond, but I usually say nothing. Those who know me here in Iraq see a quiet, performing officer, and could never have guessed that I was there two years ago. I am still so sad about the loss of the family structure, but not like I once was. It kills me that we get a vote that doesn't count here, and our kids pay for the bill.
I guess I'm somewhat taken aback by the reaction of your WAH. It's waht they want for so long, and maybe it is like the proverbial dog chasing the car.. They don't quite know what to do when they get it, but they are on a mission, as though guided by some weird internal beacon, but I did like ot's response.
I hope you have a great summer. You sound as good as you can for someone who just went through such an emotional ordeal. I only hope I handle it half as well as you appear to have.
