Wifes severe depression, MLC, and suicide attempt

[Lifes Twists]

So today I am taking my youngest two camping in the white mountains. It is the first vacation since BD over a year ago. Surprisingly I am find it hard this morning to get motivated and get going. In the past it would have been my wife and I up early getting packed and ready to go. I would have also known there would be a partner along to share in the fun times and special moments. Even though my girls will be along, I feel a bit lonely also. I am going to keep pushing forward though and being the best dad I can be. I need some break from things to recharge even a little bit.

When I come back I am probably facing a fight to gain primary residence of my girls. My wife has indicated through her attorney that she does not agree with me having primary residence. I know that DCF recommendations plus what my wife attempted will give me the better chances in court. I hate putting my wife through this and wish she would get her brain back in gear and see what she has done and accept the changes to living arrangements it means for our girls.
