Deployed Soldier/Father needs your help

[SoldierDad]

CityGirl,

I sometimes need a nudge from board members to open my eyes to me and my issues.

My self-loathing has grown tiring to me, and I am moving forward.

I have ALOT of things I have to work on, and as I identify, and catagorize them, I begin to chip away at them.

You would think a Military man wouldn't have self-esteem issues, but alas, I do. I feel that this is due to the relationship with my W, and how she would make me feel about certain things.

As far as relationships, I only knew what I knew at the time. I NOW know better, and I feel that I can have a much more rewarding relationship in the future. I still have ALOT of work to do in this department, but I do know a few things NOT to do!!!

Also, I have realized that I MUST not accept lies or deceit from ANYONE. I am better than that, and if someone wants to have a relationship with me, albeit friends or dating, honesty and truthfullness are at the forefront of what I am looking for.
