Comments on: Army Wife http://www.mylifesucksbigtime.com/2008/08/army-wife/ Because shit happens - to all of us. Tue, 06 Jan 2009 20:05:58 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Stephanie http://www.mylifesucksbigtime.com/2008/08/army-wife/#comment-48 Stephanie Sun, 24 Aug 2008 00:25:22 +0000 http://www.mylifesucksbigtime.com/?p=71#comment-48 Sorry - one more thing. We have the money to have some stuff done, but honestly, it only helps about 25% of the time. It never helps as much as you think it will. At the end of the day, it's you and hopefully enough sanity to get you to the next day. I've been a single mom, and that was actually easier because you can create your world to fit within those parameters. Here, you are in suspended animation - you can't make the permanent decisions (moving into a small house with no yard or closer to family) that would have an impact and you can't go find the companionship that you crave. You are stuck trying to keep things moving forward without the power to really change the things that make life difficult. Ok, that was more than one thing, but again, you are in my prayers.

Husbands been gone for 6 months, I have my son FT and his sons PT, plus all of the house crap, a full-time career, ass hole ex and martyr exwife of his. Not sure what I did to earn this crap. Thing is, I do believe in what he's doing. And 90% of the time I'm ok. But you are absolutely right - unless you are in this situation, no one knows. You get platitudes. Apparently we joined some bizarre world and didn't even know it. All I can say is hang in there. It sucks. It absolutely sucks. But this too shall pass. Not sure what happens then, but I'll keep you in my prayer. I’m there with you sister.
