Great attitude- Positive thinking- Love it
by: Jennifer S

Robin,

When I first started reading your post, I was a bit worried.

I feel that the biggest mistake that wives make with a husband in this profession is the negative thought processes they put into it.

Meaning- If we think we hate it, we are never ever going to like it. I, like you, have more children than I need, lol- I have 4. When Keith started driving, I hated it, and it almost cost me a wonderful marriage! I had to stop and think- Do I really want to divorce a man that I TOTALLY adore.

I am glad to hear that you began positive thought patterns regarding this. It is difficult, but it is simply a matter- of retraining your mind. We can all be negative at times, this is very, very difficult to deal with. But we have to weigh the pro's and con's. It takes a strong woman to stand behind a successful driver ;)

If your looking for more support. I am looking at possibly adding a "Truckers Wives" support group to face book! Until then, you are welcome to contact me @ jenspast1991@yahoo.com
