It is funny how talks can go sour in a hurry. I try to limit what I say.

Your situation is so much like mine it is scary.

Wife says she misses us, but is concerned that she is somewhat content not living here right now. She and I along with our daughter went for a walk this evening at the track. I met them there as I had an errand to run first. When we left, wife again said "I love you".

The loneliness is excruciating. I'm sure my daughter misses her mom, but she believes wholeheartedly that she will be back soon. Daughter has been "taking care of dad" by doing dishes for first time ever, making sure my bed is turned down, etc. I don't want her to have to take care of Dad at 12 years old.

This ain't easy.
