Hello Moonblossom, how are you? I am still an emotional mother but that is too be expected, and I do not think that will go away. I am sure it will ease as time goes on but I will always be concerned for my son. I am going to be off from work and will not return until after Christmas so I am wishing you and your family Happy Holidays early. I am not going to be on the site until after Christmas I have too much to do in between now and then. Have a good one!!

Thanks, some days are better than others. I guess that is part of the process. My son is going to stay w/ my sister in law for a week. It was actually funny tonight I asked him when he was leaving and he so very confused? My sister in law and her husbnad were arguing over when he was coming? My son said all of this over little ole me? The arguement was over my brohter in law wanting him to be there this Saturday instead of waiting for Christmas evening. What a mess. I cried when he made the comment that all he wants is to spend time before he goes.

Brandy, Whatever you are feeling--it's ok. We are going thru a process of letting go as we look to the future. I"m very proud of my son & what he's embarking on. I know that this is the best thing for him! For Christmas--no you don't have to get "into" it. Perhaps this year your family will do something different from the "tradtional". Hang in there!

Yeah I thought of that too. I fianlly broke down and told him how I felt!!! I think that did not help him any... What can I do, I am an emotional mess!! There are so many things that go through my head daily, the fear of the unknown, SERE training, not being able to talk to him when I want, etc. Christmas this year, well lets just say I am just not into it at all? I didn;t even want to put up my tree!! Is all of this normal? Everyone tells me to make the best of Christmas this year, but it is very hard to do!!!!

Brandy, My son is having some grouchy days too. I beleive that it is his way of pulling away emotionally.

Is it normal for kids to act real grouchy at times after they sign up? My son is going through some emotional things and I do not k now if it has anything to do with his leaving?

Hello all, I am new to this group and found out last night that my son will be leaving April 13th for BC out of Lansing Michigan. We live in Battle Creek. I am an emotional mess. My son is an AO (Aviation Ordnanceman) but still doing pst.'s for EOD. It is a couple of months away but still seems so soon. My son and I are so very close and I do not like this at all. I do not know what I am going to do without my son being a part of my life everyday or even getting the chance to talk with him on a daily basis. My daughter is taking it pretty good and my husband is estatic for him. I know these are normal emotions but it is hard.

Oops! I just joined, but I have to leave again - that fast. My son put in a request for an earlier leave date last month and got the word today, he leaves in January instead of April. He gets to keep his job (IT). Yay! I'm so happy for him.
