Thanks Labug & Wendy. I'm familiar with the Spiers Doctrine- kinda used it during deployments, but never in regard to my M. Strange- I have an easier time visualizing death/ dismemberment in Afghanistan than I have dealing w/ the possible worst case scenerio for my M.

This afternoon should be interesting....trying to prepare myself. My W & I are meeting a relative to tell them about the D....well...She is telling & I am attending. *** He is the Catholic priest that married us 17 yrs ago, our Boys' Godfather, close friend & an Uncle.
I'm curious how my W will worm her way out of answering the question ; "Have you attended M C. ?" .... Yup, I know that question is coming, I want to attend MC, but she said that she is past that & wants to move on. Her closest relatives are furious at her & have broken off communication, at least temporarily. I was proud of myself- When they spoke with me, I was only positive, didn't say one negative thing about W. Simply said that I love her,I'm working on ME & I'll continie to be the best Dad ever.
The more time that I spend with her, the more I believe that she is &$%## nuts.
I love my crazy W though wink & still want to keep the family intact. Working on some type of GAL everyday- gym, group hikes, yoga, D/S support group ect, & IC once a week... Also getting paperwork together for grad school. GAL is easier to do while I'm on vacation- starting work again in two weeks, but will still try to do something everyday.
Thanks Everyone for the support. Wishing you the best & sending good vibes for 2012!
