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.
Infinity**

| 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.

| I'm at stage three and it is kicking me. But thank you so much for posting the stages. I feel like a baby sometimes because anything i see or hear makes me cry. Its helpful to know that this is normal and I will survive.

Its not the cards you are dealt with, but how you use them.

| This is excellent.. this is/ would have been a great thing for me to read when Billy was on deployment. Knowing that others feel exactly the same way would have helped.. This is a great posting!!

Pray that with this '08 election some changes are made with our military! And praying for our troops!

| I wish I had this the first deployment! I'm working on my second, half way through! Although the FRG is supposed to be there and help when you need another shoulder to cry on, who is supposed to understand and help you through the deployment, that's not what I'm getting at mine. Thanks for whoever put all that together for someone like me who is going through a deployment! I copied it to word and printed it out.

Stress of leaving posted: 04/15/08 at 4:44 PM

| I leave for Navy bootcamp June 3rd of 2008 and I'm definitely feeling the stress of leaving between me and my boyfriend right now. I have trust issues because of things that happened in the past and I cant let it go but I really want to stay with my boyfriend! He makes me soo happy and I love being with him. But i'm worried that when I leave he'll find someone else to talk to. We're both so used to talking to each other all of the time. We're kind of in a long distance relationship right now he lives about an hour away But I see him all of the time. His mom died 2 years ago and its easy for him to get attached to talking to someone, he cherishes every female in his life since that happened, But i'm afraid he's gonna find someone else to talk to. All of the stress of him being an hour away, me leaving soon, and me being away for 13 weeks is stressing the both of us out! He doesnt like talking about it with me because it makes him mad. He tells me he wishes he could find a way to make me not go all of the time but he knows at the same time its what I want to do. I don't know I just know I'm stressing out over here!
