Not to sound like an a**, but I don't understand why women marry into military then complain about their husbands being gone! YOu knew what was going on and you knew there was a chance he may have to serve active duty. Sorry, I can't help.

Some people just don't understand that its no longer a choice to go fight or stay home. This is his job and career. If possible when the hubby leaves can you go visit your family or have them or a good friend come stay with you for bit. It sounds like it would do you some good to visit or be visited. Sounds like you have been in for a while now. Haven't you made friends with the other families. If so they know how to support you and I am sure you have been there for them. Try to keep busy and enjoy every minute you have till he has to go. God Bless you and your family and Thank You for the sacrifice you and your husband are making for us here in the USA.

Contact other women in the same situation, they usually have get together once a week to talk about the pressures of being a soldiers wife!
As for your son put a picture on the fridge low enough for him to see, and put the word hero above it.

im sorry sister that you have to go through this AGAIN. but thats the military life you have to get use to it or deal with it i say you come down here with us it will make you feel not so lonley plus i miss my nephew alot i love you guys alot and ill always be there for you guys. and i pray for josh to be safe everyday in his life. dont be so negative about the situation thing about the positives in life remember that him going to iraq and war is him being a HERO so he's your hero be proud of him! and well with nathan i sugest you talk to him about his daddy 24/7 show him pictures and all.... well another thing that if you cant handle the military life i think he should get out family comes FIRST before anything in life.. move down here with the rest of your family thiers thousands and thousands of jobs out here for josh. remember family comes 1st and well if you need to cry then cry let all out it helps .

Ask you hubby to step out of the military! Family is more important than war!
