I'm sorry to hear about all that, and like Redz said when it rains it pours brother, i kindda know what your going through. My comrades in arms were close to me, blood couldn't have made us any closer, losing seven in one day nearly destroyed me, but I learned a great deal. Even though I was the leader for my team, I too tried to portray the strong image for my troops to follow, but I learned I had more brothers than I thought. One night, the five of them came into the tent and gathered around me, this was about two days after we'd lost half our team, and they knew one of the guys that we had lost was a life friend of mine, and they told me to stop it. To stop acting hard and tough like it only bothered me a little, and to quit venting quietly and away from them, and one grabbed a picture off my bed of the team and said:
"We miss 'em too man, we loved 'em too."
And then I lost it, balled like a lil girl, but I learned that those guys gave me strength that I didn't know I had.
So long story short, I know why your trying to be the strongest, but be strong enough to lean on your family and friends for support. They won't let you fall, they'll hold you up, and you'll get strength from them.
From me brother, I'll support you thru these trying times.
Respectfully,
Brake

If you need anything like to talk, chat on AIM, or w/e you can PM me for my cell and im up for talking anytime.. ahh hell, if u dont feel like PMing me its 586-864-3252.. i doubt any chochfairies will prank me from here.
good luck with everything and you will be in my prayers..
stay strong, keep your head up, and try to at least get your wife in some type of rehab.. that kinda thing happened to my ex, and she wouldnt take help, so hopefully your wife will be different.
