This morning Craig left for El Salvador. I woke up before he did and didn’t manage to fall back asleep until after his plane took off at 6. My father in law arrived last night to take my daughter to school this morning.
I am so glad he’s here. For some reason, maybe the bad sleep, my antidepressants aren’t working today. I’m slow, low, and tired.
I miss Craig so much. You would think that with practice, separations would become easier to bear. But they don’t. I’ve been a navy wife for a decade. It never gets easier.
Still, my husband loves his job. I’m so proud of him. I need to fill my time with good things and be an interesting wife for him to come back to. Depending on your spouse is normal. But I do not wish to be completely co dependent. As a Bipolar sufferer I will always be a little co dependent because my husband is so good for my mental health that not having him around hurts. But my father in law is likely only staying through Thursday, and I’ve got to be able to stand on my own two feet.
