I am doing some research in hopes of making deployments easier for children of military families....
What are some things that your children seem to stuggle with when their mom or dad is away on deployment? Thank you in advance. If you would like a better explination of what I am looking for, feel free to email me.

I don't ever remember having any of those issues when my father was deployed.
I don't remember my brother or sister, or any of our friends having those issues either.
My father was deployed 9 out of my first 18 years on earth.

1. One or both parents are away. Abandonment issues.
2. Fears of a parent being killed.
3. Stressed out parents that are still with the children. Lots of these parents treat the kids as sounding-boards and as adults. They express their own fears about the spouse being away from the home to the kids. This adds to their stress.
4. Seeing the parent of friends coming home in a body bag.
None of this is new. There have always been wars and this has always happened. Poor kids.
