How do I deal with now he's overseas?

[Piano]

Thanks so much robx for your reply. You could have been harder on me, but you're right, I am already too hard on myself. I have to remind myself to give myself a break!

Anyhoo....

To now....

How should I be with him in our email correspondence?

This is the email I received form him a week ago:


Hi (wife)

I have been wanting to write to you for a while now, but I have been taken into the turmoil of my new job and time seems to have gone in a flash.
I have been thinking about you and (baby) and I hope dearly that you are both well, right in warmth of the (country) spring.
I suppose I needed also a bit of time, breathing space.

I miss having news about the little (baby). She must have changed and grown already so much ... 5 months-old now.
How is she?

I wrote to her but I kept the letter.

I am going to be paid my October salary (around 2,800 euros), and I'll be able to send you some money at last.

I am sorry I didn't send you money before but I got paid 1,197 euros for September and I just had enough to get by until now.
I am quite disappointed by the job at (company). The job is very demanding, (boss) appears to be even more tyrannical and mad than before, and I can't see my prospects in terms of salary increase and opportunities getting any better at (company) in the future. I regret nothing happened with (other company) in September but I just couldn't afford waiting and risking to be jobless for too long.

This contract with (company) is going to make me very busy until the end of production of the film, in May next year, and I hope I'll then be able to jump ship to a better job. I then also want to come to (your country), hopefully in time for (baby's) 1st birthday.

I'll let you know when I have done the money transfer to your account.

Take care,
H
