I originally went to Memphis (Millington), TN but had an issue with my license (AZ) so instead of going back to Maryland and sitting on my ass for a month I decided to bus it out here and stay with my mom. And in 4 days I got my license fixed and on day 5 I'm in school.

who's your husband? PM me if you want me to pass any word on to him... if not then tell him to come say hi. I'm in the green biker jacket and a cowboy hat

No, but I never asked. Being that I lost my family already (before i even started school really...) I'm gonna run solo OTR... tho I did found it I can get a pet so I'm gonna get a dog (probably a rottie or a shepard as i love both breeds and have had them all my life) to ride with me. $500 pet deposit ($250 refundable once you stop runnin with a pet or quit) but it'll be worth it to me. Having "lost" my 7m/o son I need company, and I've never had a dog leave me.

We had a chat awhile back before you went to school. Your wife left you not your son. You will always be his father, so don't forget it!!!
Don't forget you have a right to be in his life, so don't forget about him. You will loose most respect from many people if you do this. Do what ever it takes to see him as much as possible. Remember what I tell you, your child is worth more than the JOB!! You can be OTR and still be a father!!
Being gone a lot does not make you a bad father either! I'm not putting you down, I just don't want to see you make the biggest mistake in your life!!!! I have raised 2 family's on the road. The 1st 2 kids I didn't see much because of divorce. I was young and could have seen them more, and let depression get the best of me! Don't make this mistake. The 2Nd 2 kids I watched them grow up and spent time raising them with my wife. I hope everything goes well for you and your son!!!
