New Trucker Wife/Cant adjust to change...
My husband just got his CDL and went to work for a company that had him gone 4 weeks over road for training, now hes on his own and gone alot. We have a 1 1/2 yr old that has never been away from his dad. He facetimes him but our son takes the phone and turns it over not wanting to talk. Iam not adjusting well to being solo full-time mom and working full-time. Its really hard and im just curious when you begin to feel normalcy in your life again. I feel so resentful towards him for being gone and thats not fair. I just had no idea he woube able to start a cdl job that let him be home.

New Trucker Wife/Cant adjust to change...
Thank you for encouraging words. I did read the article and it all makes sense. I am still feeling emotional and i get frustrated. I listen to him fuss about things like parking availability and i want to scream...my mind is thinking ...try getting up at 4am Mon-Fri, getting our toddler ready and to daycare, go work for 10hrs, get home around 6pm and feed/bathe/get our son in bed and hopefully by 9pm you find a second to sit down but only to now get dishes done, pay bills, and hit the alarm on button just to do it all over again. My mind then thinks of the to do list of homeowner stuff and how much i dont get dond because the demands of a toddler take over. Hopefully we will make it through but the way i feel in this moment is not comfortable emotions and i cant find the motivation to care enough because im overwhelmed. My family growing up were all in the truckers business, some were drivers and some owned their own trucks and leased them out. I watched my mom go through 5 marriages with truckers...probably werent healthy in the 1st place so no surprises there. I never heard anyone ever express feelings about this lifestyle. The trust part is not a concern. I worked at a Flying J before and seen what truck stops can be about. If a person is going to be unfaithful across the country. Its their values that need evaluated not their career.
