I'm so sorry you are feeling this way. All I can say is I think I might know how you feel. The need to detach from the situation and stop the battle with a woman who doesn't deserve your time and energy. Your BM is in a huge power struggle with you and unfortunately since she has the boys right now, she's "winning".

My advice. Keep trying. The same way she wears you hollow, you do the same. Keep trying to call them and send them letters and whatever you can because it's what you WANT to do. It's what the boys want (even though they have a hard time showing it). I know how hard it is to take the time to call just to have her not let you talk to them but.....you can't give up on your family. Just know in your heart that it's HER not the boys. They still love you and one day will appreciate the sacrifices you made.

((((((((HUGS)))))))))) and I'm so sorry that you're going through all this....

I totally get where you're coming from. I never kidded myself that my DH spent his entire deployment pining away for me and the kids. No way. He worked. 100% of him was consumed with the job. He thought about us at night as he'd go to sleep and on the days that he could call home, but otherwise he turned it off. It's just self-preservation. Don't feel bad about that. You have to have something yourself before you can give it to the boys. Don't feel guilty about giving your all to your job while you are where you are. Like I said, self-preservation comes first. You can make it up when you get back and in the meantime, maybe send the boys notes in the mail every so often. Kids LOVE mail, especially from someplace far away and interesting. Your hubby will just have to understand that this is how you cope.

Hang in there!!! The only way you can make this time go by fast is to keep busy. DH should know that.

I know what you mean about the rock and the waves. It is the way I feel most of the time myself. Hugs to you! I think you are awesome!
