[QUOTE="debrasue, post: 1729501"] Yes, this can be a lonely journey, but you are not alone. And you don’t have to be strong and pretend that everything is ok - sometimes it just isn’t, and that can be true at any stage of this journey. It seems that your job puts you in a lonely place sometimes and it must be hard for you to have to spend time away from your daughter. I agree with others who say that your wife needs to get on board with this, and I suppose the job of making her realise that is going to have to fall to you, but you can use the resources on here to help you do that - please don’t feel you have to do it alone. Don’t feel lost, either - you have found an incredibly valuable ally in DCUK. Counselling may be the way forward for you - having someone really hear you is very empowering - but this website can be your lifeline, too. It’s a safe place to come and talk whenever you need to, and although it’s a UK site it has an international membership, so you’ll always be able to find someone to talk to, at any time of your day or night. And, more importantly, it’s stuffed to the brim with people who have been and are going through the very same things that you are experiencing - all across the world. Open up, share your experiences, hopes and fears, cry if you need to, spare a few words to help someone else along their same journey - you’ll soon start to feel part of a big, caring community and not alone after all. Sending you big hugs and encouragement x [/QUOTE]
