Alright, Me and my guy will be together a year in August, so I'm looking for support groups to help me pass the time while my guy is deploying over to Iraq. I've tried online support groups and trust me they aint worth a d@mn. And family doesn't know what to say/think so they ain't much help either. I don't want to be in a group that says what I want to hear, I want the truth and apparently these online support groups only 'want to hear lies and not the truth." And on top of that half of them are either having problems with their guy (that goes along with they only want to hear a lie and not the truth,) and most of the women in the online support groups date guys in the uniform just because.
All I want is a honest and upfront support group w/o dealing with the bs of all that crap I've said above. If anybody can point me to the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.

You ought to start one yourself. That way you can adjust the attitude of the room. There are places where you can set up free message boards (just put in free message boards in Google and a bunch come up). You may be surprised how many people you get coming to your board.

His unit should have a family readiness group. My husband is currently in Iraq and I do go to the meetings. Its nice to be able to talk with people who are going through the same things you are. Its not an easy time but its all worth it. Be strong and take care. If you need someone to talk to you can email me.

if you want someone to talk to email me and i would be happy to talk. my guy just came back in Jan from being deployed for a year. i know how long that year can be and how hard it is. i was pregnant during my year alone on top of it! i will tell you the truth. when hes on missions and you cant talk to him for weeks you will be crazy! everytime you watch the news you will get goosebumps and be crazy with worry. everytime you leave the house you will be destined to miss the one time he gets online that day and it will break your heart. its not easy and those people who say it will be and the time will go fast are lieing. i went crazy with worry and cried myself to sleep most nights. try a local support group for the families of soldiers deploying. trust me they will welcome you with open arms because they do get it.

The closest military post, and especially his unit's home post, should have support groups available. Inquire with veteran's groups as well. Good luck and keep strong.
