The way I see it - the last time you traveled, you got depressed, right? Things started spiraling then. Now you are in a different place and it has taken a lot for you emotionally to get there..in regards to your kid(s), your wife and her turn in behavior, and yourself, in combating the depression and learning to be more loving, more understanding, more of a friend to yourself and your wife. Give yourself a pat. A huge pat!!!
Now, you have to travel again. It echoes of the past, but now you are in a place where you have learned a tremendous amount about life and love. This is a test Andy. Don't get bummed...this is here for a reason. I know you will be away from your family and I know things are not rock solid with your wife yet, but maybe, just maybe how you and her handle this hurdle will help even more with the two of you. This will happen again.. albeit this is bad timing, but I think you will be fine and you will be able to put even more of what you have learned into play.
