Long hard road!!!

I am not a truck drivers wife but girlfriend which I am sure is just as hard if not harder. We have a 2 year old at home with me and I am 6 months pregnant.

My boyfriend goes over the road a lot which leaves me here at home to take care of babies and all other tasks that involve it. It seems he is gone more than he is home and it doesn't help with winter weather and long nights waiting for him to be able to leave where the weather has left him.

I stand by his side the best I can and understand he is out there making a living for all of us so that we can live the best life possible. When times get tough I often turn to his parents his father has been a truck driver all his life so his mother always knows the best way to make me cope with things.

My advice is if you love him with all your heart things will work out fine if not don't bother for this is a very very hard life to live and it is even worse with baby. You have to have trust and understanding.
