Hi VC

Its 14 weeks this weekend!!, and I don't miss it 1 bit!!
Well, I do miss a glass of red with a good steak!, but I can live with that!!

All is still good with me, not sure the same for my wife.

She called me yesterday complaining that our sons attitude was terrible, he was lazy, sulking, and had no respect for her or her home, she was going on, then started to cry, saying that she was under so much pressure, with work, a large house to look after and the kids, etc.

I just listened and asked if there was anything she wante me to do to help, she said no not really, but could I speak to him about his behaviour, I agreed, and told her not to get upset.

I said I knew the pressure she was under as it was the same when we were together, and that it could only be harder for her now she was on her own, strange really, as we have the kids 50/50, I have a full time job, and a house, and I'm ok!!!

She thanked me and calmed down, we finished the call all well.

I think that reality is far from the dream she was expecting.

Life is still really hard just because we are apart, and its not getting easier.

I spoke to my son last night, he just said that she was always in a bad mood, and was moaning at him over everything.

He's 12 so it probably a bit of puberty kicking in, I told him if he needed to talk at any time to call me, and to not to be rude to his mother, it wasn't nice.
He also said he was fine about us splitting now, but still gets upset at times, I just told him not to worry, we will all be ok some how.

Reality is really hard once the dust has settled on everyone, but it seems my wife is having it hard now.

On top of that OM is due around this time, so there will be pressure from him wanting to see her, add this to the equation and it's tough keeping everything going for her.

But I need to keep positive on me, I'm great!!!

Gym again last night, feel good, and look loads better!!!

i just hope she will be ok with everything, and the kids don't suffer too much.
