After thinking about it, I have been gone about 6 months, not a year, leave it to me the drama queen to blow it out of proportion.

So what happened? Well, one day, after yet another fight with my newly pregnent wife of 11 years, I cracked. I packed up what I could, deleted my blog and closed down all of my emails, tried to wipe away all that I had been, and walked out the door of my family's home with no intention of returning.

As some of you know, I have two daughters with a third child on the way (due in early May), but none of that was enough for me...at the time.

I have been fighting with my wife for over a decade. I was unhappy, depressed and just couldn't do it anymore. It was never going to work and never going to change.

My problem was my children. I am the child of a man who has been married 8 times and a woman who chose a younger man and an addiction over me. I know how it feels to be a kid who feels abandoned, and I couldn't stay away from my kids.

I am back. I am back here and at home. I am going to try and start over now, you're all invited to read along as I fail miserably. It should make for good reading.
