it doens't matter what length of time the knowing, it's the daily commitment to each other that makes a relationship work.

Marie, you're totally right on this. I knew Leroy for 1 month before we were living together (I was 18), married 5 months later, baby born 9 months after that. Because of the navy he's been gone for all but 3 years of our marriage and his son's life. We grew up but not together. We just stopped trying.

Depression is a monster but having those around you loving, supportive, and just willing to listen is a very positive step toward becoming whole again. I have seen the love you have for your children, and I know that there is a lot of self love and pride inside you too. I have heard and seen it in you.
Sometimes being in an over bearing relationship drags us down. I have been there. Sometimes you just know when the time to move on is here.
I have nothing but high hopes and good wishes for you, andrew and the kids!

Tammy, thank you. You have no idea how much better this makes me feel. I've been finishing up the move today and found my wedding album and other pictures and it just got me down. Made me wonder why I let someone like him get to me.
Andrew is making tentative plans to come out here in March and not leave until I can go with him. We're going to make this work and we will find the light at the end.
