Tonight is one of those nights that suck. I can't sleep and of course df is on the road. I can hear our beautiful little girl snoring and talking in her sleep over the monitor. Sometimes I hate being with a trucker! But then I remember that that trucker is my Chris and I love him. I can't post this in any other group because no one understands how hard being with a trucker is. Our daughter is 14months old and already say daddy don't go when we take him to the truck after a few days at home. It breaks our hearts to see her so upset that he Is leaving. This isn't a life she choose she was born into it. We have been doing thus for 2.5 years our daughter for her whole life. Some nights and some days are hard.

hugs

So sorry you are having a rough time with it.  I could lie and say it gets better but in reality there is an ebb and flow (not sure if i spelled that right) to it.  Some times are better than other times . Be strong.  I have been living the truckers wife  life for 20 yrs.  Maybe I am used to it.  Hang in there .

I have been feeling the same way lately. I'm not sure what I will do because it is sooo hard some days and I take it out on him.  Then other days I am perfectly sane, lol. 


Just thinking of ya sister!

It's a constant rollercoaster. I can be fine one day and just so down and depressed the next.
