I think that there are times that we both met each others needs. But definately not as often as we should have. I think it [censored] that it had to come to this for an eye opener. I started seeing a counselor, I had to stop while on deployment. However I have an appointment on the 1st to continue. I told my wife that I was going to continue. Previously I had left an open invite for her to come as well. This time however I told her I didn't want her to come. I wanted to see the counselor atleast a few times by myself and after that, if she wanted to come I would be open to it. But for now I just wanted it to be me. I have no read DR yet. I will order it after my daughters game tonight. I have read the 5 Love languages. I think it is a great book. My wife asked me to read it about 3 years ago and I didn't. What an idiot. I read it while I was on deployment this last time. I will continue with my growing relationship with my kids. It has been very satisfying so far. It can be tough when they ask about mom. I do everything not to slander her, but some of the questions leave me not knowing what to say. I generally end up saying that is something they will have to ask her. They don't seem to want to talk to her about it though, as she tells them that they don't understand, or that she doesn't want to talk about it. I have (with my wifes blessing) told my daughter everything.
