KP, I think that the families of our military men and women are heroes too...you give your loved ones just as they give themselves! Keep hanging in there and I hope that your husband can come home to you soon, safe and healthy.
Originally Posted By KittyPrincess1206 The past couple of weeks have been very hard on me. I just miss him a lot. And, it seems to be have gotten very short with me. The past couple of times we've spoken, he hasn't beeen very nice. But, I'm sure that's because he's so far away from everything he knows. Pollyanna, still hounding me dad for his truck. But I'm getting closer. Thank you, everyone. For all your hugs, and well wishes. I'm doing my best to hang in there, and think happy thoughts.

Originally Posted By Mary Poppins I don't know why he has been short with you. I don't have any experience with your situation, KittyPrincess. What you think sounds right. My best guess is that he feels bad he isn't able to be with you, and so he's really being hard on himself but it comes across as being hard on you. Again, I don't know anything about this situation. Do you have a spousal support group in the army? Some place to go to with other people in the same situation?
Originally Posted By KittyPrincess1206 No, I don't really have anyone to turn to at this point, Mary Poppins. I do have every intention to find a military couselor to help me right now. I know my husbannd is under so much stress, and I fotgive him for blowing up at me.. I just want to understand, why.
Originally Posted By Mary Poppins A military counselor. Now that's sounds like an excellent idea. Maybe they can suggest how to respond when your spouse blows up at you due to all the stress s/he's under. It's very important that you not take it personally. So easy to say, but when people have blown up at me, it made me feel terrible. Go easy on yourself, KittyPrincess.
Originally Posted By KittyPrincess1206 That's kindof why I haven't posted in a couple days. My self esteem has blown downwards. I think I just need to try harder, for him. Also, I tend to not be easy on myslef... Mary Poppins, thank you, for everything.

Originally Posted By amazedncal2 KP, when my newlywed niece's husband was in Iraq she joined a group of spouses of the military.

We loved them but there were things that others understood better. Please make that call today
