Guys,
I know I have not been around alot here lately, alot of personal things going on here in the Couch household. My wife and I have been having problems in our relationship for the past two months, to the point where the police were involved twice.
On top of that it seems that she was up to something for the past 2+ years and it finally reared its head when they escorted my wife to the "gray-bar motel" last Thursday night. I had no idea that this was happening but I should have seen the signs. The thing that bothers me the most is that we have a 5,3 year old and a 16 month old little girl that have not seen their mother since that time either.
What do you tell a child in this situation? "Your mother is in Jail thats why she is not at home." They have been used to her coming home late at night in conjunction with the relationship problems. At first it bothered me real bad to the point where I just didn't want to go on, but my kids kept me going. Then this happened and I decided that I am tired of worrying and tired of being lied to.
My oldest daughter has grown tired of her mother constantly yelling at her and doesn't miss that at all. The two younger ones are taking it harder especially the baby and it kills me. She screams every night for her mother and I try my best to calm her down. So as of now I am taking care of my girls as a single dad and could use some prayers. To the single parents out there that have done it for years I applaud you because I have been one for less than a week now and I see how hard it is.
