Abandonment: You are Not Alone

T he beginning of my life started out pretty normal. I was loved, cared for, and spoiled as the only child. I had a very strong attachment to my mom like most children. When I turned five years old my mom became very discontent with where she was in life causing her to question her career choices.  She decided to apply for the highway patrol academy, little did she know that after completing her course she would have to make the biggest decision of her life that would affect her relationship with me forever.

He spend 's too much time at work! This is the respond my clients and even myself used when our truck driving husband stay over the road far too long. Although I can relate to the miscommunication of our spouse agenda to come home but at the last minutes something happens to disrupts those plans. I also understand how if feels to cancel yet another event or go alone and have to make up yet another excuse of why he is not home. Traditional married couples and families who don't get the trucking life will never understand this sacrifice or why you stay committed to your spouse. So why bother in explaining yourself.
