Lost, you are spot on. She has struggled with living under my shadow for a long time. this is hard for me because I recognize it and have tried my best to show her i don't think she is, but even people in her family treat her this way. she has come to resent me for this and that is what lead to our problems over a year ago and continue today.

Thats a cause or root of the problem but it is not an excuse nor does it justify all that she has done. I do know better then most the sacrifices that military spouses make for this country and that is why I am supportive our her schooling and finding her place in this world even if it is without me. that has been the theme of the past week and it has put me in a great place.

I am truly proud and supportive of her and am detached to the point that my thoughts are rarely of her, rather then rarely of other things. We will just see what happens and how long I ride things out, but for now I am where I need to be.

It was very hard to go back to work after such a great 5 day weekend. I hung-out with friends and family, met a new friend and some other good people, even ended up crashing a wedding, so it took me 9 of my 13 hours at work today to accept the fact that I had to be there and start paying attention.

I have been out of the loop of everyones threads this week but will get back into it I promise.

Julia-- yours just locked up so as soon as I find the new one I'll stop by,
pisces -- Same for you but it did not just happen I have been slacking, what is the new one called.
