Day 5 with no contact from wife. My wife's older sister called to see how I was. My wife has another sister who is much closer to her. The 2 sisters were talking and the closer sister asked the older one how I was doing. She told her that I was doing well and moving on. I guess I am faking it. In any case, I am sure that went back to my wife. I have not given any monetary support to my wife at the advice of my lawyer. My lawyer said she chose to leave without any formal agreement. I did pay for my daughters ballet lessons and did pay my wife's car payment and car insurance. I told my daughter that there was food in freezer that she could take home. My wife is starting her 3rd week of school. I had done all the house chores including cleaning, grocery shopping, cooking, and working my regular job so my wife could study. I am sure she will feel the difference this week and the following weeks. You never appreciate what you have till it is lost. My concern is if my wife files for divorce what is the likelihood she will stop it down the road. I guess no way to know. I try to stay strong and active and busy. I will take my daughter to dance this week. I am also worried about my son. I do believe he is suffering from PTSD from his recent deployment. His girlfriend told me that a pick up truck was driving irratically down the road while they were walking and he began shouting orders like it was a truck full of explosives. She yelled to him that he was not in Iraq but home. These kids have been to hell and back. I hope he will get counseling. Bobby O
