Hi MagicsMom...It makes me feel better that you understand. When I struggle like this I feel bad that my wife bears my burden alone. I've told her about getting involved here and how I'm hoping to learn better coping skills and such and make new friends. She is glad I'm scrunching up my courage and jumping in.

You know, that's a good question about whether dad feels I'm safe now. He knows my wife always says to me--"I've got your back covered!!" Dad may feel safe now. However, it's still going to take some time for me to process it through and deal with it. I mean, after all, it's "a done deed" as they've already bought their second home in Arizona.

Thanks for caring. Wishing you well.
