Is there any military spouse support groups or websites to meet other spouse's going through the same type of thing?? What about information sites that inform you about what is available to you?? My husband just left for basic a few says ago and I am having a hard time dealing with his absence. Yes I know he is ONLY in basic but that doesn't mean I don't miss him. Right now I haven't even got his address to mail him.

Leogirl- First off, if I wanted to be criticised I would have not asked for support. I am very close to my husband and I can't contact him for a while! And besides what do you think I wanted the spouse support for???? I wanted to know other wives in which their husbands were away as well so I could find some common group. You need to be a little more sensitive to people's feelings.

Yahoo Groups has a lot of support for military spouses.. as well as myspace. In addition you can find support from where you will be stationed at. Welcome to a military family .. but there are going to be times that you will find yourself alone, deployment, training, etc. You will become adapt to it but you will always miss him when he is gone. The best thing about loving a soldier is that you really do know what true love is all about.

Near every base, there is a Family Service Center that offers counseling, classes on learning more about the military, also has other classes on budgeting, children, relationships, etc. I'm not sure what branch he is in, the the Navy has an Ombudsman program where a wife or two is assigned to each command to assist the wives and can be a great resource. Being a military wife can be very hard and frustrating at time, not everyone can do it, but if you truly love your husband, you will find a way to make it work. No matter what, support him through his career.

Hi! You do not say where your husband is in basic training.
At Fort Benning, their was a family website on Yahoo for Wives & lucky for me Mothers. It was so great we set up our own & have kept in touch for 2 years now. Everyone was so supportive, the ones who lived on base rode by when they were due back from field & posted to let everyone know. If they had phone privileges ( they do consider that a privilege) revoked they would let us know, no one was at phones (phones were outside) or if it was just raining hard & only a few went out to phones. You will soon get his address & will feel better. You will receive a letter or email from Commanding Officer giving you his address. Shortly after his wife will contact you with all kinds of information - upcoming events including graduation dates, times & etc. Good Luck!.

Welcome to the military. Once you become assigned there is a family support group associated with his unit of assignment.
Right now I am sure there are some military spouse groups that have web sites etc. Try searching in Yahoo Groups for military wives or spouse support groups

i just got out so i know what he and you are going through. right now there really isn't a support group you can go to that i know of, but you can call his recruiters and hang with them if that will make you feel better. he will call you soon and he will have address to give you. he should be able to call often. if he is Marines the first call will be pretty weird but they are given a script to read and a few seconds to talk and that is it. when it comes to your first duty station they have a family readiness group (frg) that will give you lots of support. i wish you both all the luck in the world and bless your husband for joining and bless you for being his wife. it won't be an easy road. but if you both truly love each other you will make it just fine. military wife's have one of the hardest jobs in the world.

Search through Yahoo Groups. You will find all kinds of support through the groups with spouses going through similar situations. You can find groups on myspace also.

Nope. he isn't any longer interior the militia first of all. You have been purely married 7 years next and the minimum for any style of retirement reimbursement is 10 years. while you're divorced then why are you nevertheless residing with him and looking out after him? circulate out and circulate back alongside with your loved ones, get your guy or woman job and shelter your self. you will decide for a criminal expert in case you elect for to pay for one or no longer. Time to circulate on with you very own existence and initiate looking after your self and not him.

Please don't take this personally, but you really need to loosen those strings a little. Your husband is doing a real job in the real military. Keep yourself busy with your friends, or things around the house. You may want to consider taking up a few hobby's. It doesn't mean that you love your husband any less. By you taking more responsibility for your own happiness, you will actually improve your marriage. Best of luck to you both.
