Tyler,

I too feel that GAL can be exhausting at times. I keep telling myself that I'd rather be exhausted than sitting around with nothing to do. I think there is a balance out there and someday hope I find it.

I'm sorry you are feeling alone and empty. This is tough stuff to go through and I don't think you can avoid those types of feelings. Someday, your kids might be telling their mates about the camping trips they took with dad and all the fond memories they have. Keep thinking about that.
