| I read through most of it thinking..."thats me...thats me...oh thats definitely me". My SO is away right now unfortunately, and even though he's not in Iraq, everything is still really tough. This past year has gone by fairly quickly but sometimes I feel like its not worth anything because he's hardly been there.

I can firmly say, that I do not believe that these "stages" have set time periods or borders....
I'm 2 months into the deployment...and there are moments when I'm feeling ok...and then others when I just want to "break" so to speak.
Right now, I'm at that break feeling. I get particularly annoyed right now with students who do not listen to the instructions I give them for their tests, I get frustrated with high school students on campus who are too loud...noise bothers me to no end right now...and there are moments when all I want to do is scream at the top of my lungs.
This damned war needs to be done with.

I am in 100% agreement with you. The stages are very helpful and I go back and forth over them to see where I am at...especially on the bad days. Lately I feel alone, helpless, lost... I know we all go back and forth. I get those moments where I can't even talk to my son, but he seems more understanding than I am, and maybe it is because he is a guy and not a woman. I try to find answers to my feelings in the stages, but sometimes you just don't fit in them. You experience something totally different than what you thought you would.
I want this war over. I want him home.

Hello Everyone!
I am completely new to this. I've had to deal with a new relationship on top of the deployment. J and I will be together for a year soon, and most of the time was spent on his deployment. I knew about his deployment from the beginning.. but I was one of those who was in denial, like it wouldnt affect me,and figured I'd be ok, and for the most part I am, It's like I want to be strong for him too. But I have days where I just feel sad, and him and I were soo accustomed to speaking everyday, and seeing each other at least 3 or 4 x's a week ( I go to school FT). I keep telling myself the days are flying by.. then it seems its dragging. The list( although we arent married yet) has helped put some of the feelings into perspective. I browsed the site b4 becoming a member and was just drawn to the support everyone lends to the other.

| I stubbled upon this during one of my freak outs. It was very helpful. It is so extremely helpful to have stuff like this. I am having a hard time finding support elsewhere though. It is so hard, I swear I've cried more tears than I have ever cried before in my life. I just want him home and safe so badly. I want him home. I love him with all my heart. I'd do anything to have him home.
