Deployed Soldier/Father needs your help

[SoldierDad]

gima,
well, one of my friends just called, and asked me to go out tonight to watch the football game. I declined at first, but he wouldn't take no so I am going.

I am normally NOT the going out to a bar guy, but this place has food, and is a sports bar, so hopefully it will be fun.

I do need to realize that I can only make ME happy. Looking back, my W was a miserable woman most of our M. She constanltly complained, and just generally made me feel inadequate with her words. I have got to get out behind that rock. I need to start to build my fragile self-seteem back up.

It is going to be difficult as she has completely chopped me off at the knees the last 2 days...
