I used to buy that reasoning but after spending time with a friend who lost both his legs in the sandbox four years ago do motivational speaking for guys coming back with missing limbs I changed my mind. A guy who lost his right hand shouldn't not feel sorry for himself because some other guy lost both his legs. Sure, it could be worse, but that doesn't make something not bad.

Holy extreme examples there hoss.......

What Im referring to in my posts isn't anywhere near a comparison akin to "two guys are in a car accident, one guy had 3rd degree burns over 30% of his body, and another has 3rd degree burns over 28% of his body. The 28%-er has no idea what its like to have life suck, since someone is worse off than him!"
 
Well, I have been divorced for almost two years. My ex has primary custody of our children. I see them once a month now since her job relocated her to BOS and I relocated to TPA after they left TX. This is not the way I envisioned my role as a parent, but it is the way it is for now. Do I like it? No. Would I leave my career to change it? Yes...and I offered that very thing several times. In the end, it wouldn't have changed a thing. The ex makes WAY more money than I do....is a good, loving mother....and the courts will ALWAYS side with the mother.

That said: YOU do what is best for YOU and your children. If I could have custody of my beautiful children, I would...in a heart beat....but I would not be flying for a living...and I would live just fine with that.

Oh really? Would you like me to cite posts?

I don't get on here much and with good reason! Yeah, you cited the original posts, not the following posts by the voices of reason that got them off the ledge. You went to a lot of trouble to search and post the sensational ones, conveniently leaving out any of the counters from the rest of us. Give us some credit.

FYI, there is currently a thread about how often we expect to communicate with our pilots. For some of us, we can go days without it and be ok. I think it's interesting because a friend who had a husband deployed in Iraq communicated with him more often than I would think to do with my DH. In her case, I can understand because he was deployed. In other cases, I think there is a generational difference.

Signing off for the next few months...Please no more silly contrived posting...
