Deployed Soldier/Father needs your help

[SoldierDad]

Ya, I think the backbone thing was in direct relation to my self-esteem issues. I began addressing this right after W dropped the bomb, I still have much work to do in this area.

It's funny, in my profession and my job I HAVE to be confrontational, but when it comes to my W, I skirt the issue to avoid the fight, or the lies she would tell to justify herself. Really NEED to address this, especially if I ever plan on standing up for myself in this or any other relationship.

I am working on the detaching. I posted some items I did/was doing, to help me with that. I'm taking baby steps, but I really felt like I made some good progress today.
