Well when he first gets back it’s usually I want to do everything with my family because
he hasn’t been around us. I wanna- I wanna spend as much time as I can with my kids.
Uhm, usually about playing to a month to it he kind of withdraws, uhm, because it’s
different. Uhm, we’ve become very independent so not intentionally, say I don’t need him
but I’m so used to doin everything by myself, I just do everything and so that kinda has
taken a lot of duties or responsibility that he feels as the man
of the household that he should be doing, that I do, and I’ve done for so many months
while he was gone and it kinda becomes somewhat depressed for him and so sometimes we have
to talk and he decompresses about that because he feels like “I’m not adequate enough,”
and, but it’s not that, it’s just I’ve been so used to doin it by myself because
I have no other choice; he’s not here, that I just- I just do it without thinkin.
So that’s another issue that I have to try to deal with when he comes back and try to
catch myself to kinda let him fall back into bein the man of the household and just kinda
leavin it alone and letting it go.
