New to my husband being a truck driver

I'm new to this life. Before my husband chose this job, we were so close...inseparable. Everywhere he went i went to. He went to a 1 month school in Texas and now hes on the road with a trainer for about a week.

Its so hard on me. It almost feels like a phobia. I miss him so much and im afraid he wont come home due to things he cant control. (other drivers, weather, etc.) I feel so lonely even tho I have 2 little boys and a disabled dad with me.

I actually talked to him last night and couldn't fight back the tears any longer. So now he wants to come home because he doesn't want me depressed and I could never forgive myself if he did. Hes worked so hard for this. All the hours and its been his dream for a long time to drive a semi.

I need advice, how do yall deal with this? I don't work. I have been a house wife for over 3 years and i don't have any friends.
