Husband Going To Boot Camp
Okay, so my husband and I got together in the 6th grade. Ever since we had started dating we didn't spend more than 2 days away from each other every other weekend when he went to his dads. I ended up getting pregnant when I was 15, and since then I haven't spent more than 24 hours away from him, and even then I still had contact through texting or calling. So, I'm very nervous for when he leaves. Any word of advise to get me through this? I have a son to take care of I cant be miserable the whole time.

That's really cute that you and your husband have been together for a long time! My boyfriend left about 2 weeks ago for boot camp and I've found it really helpful to just think of the positives that can come out of this situation. They are serving their country, becoming better men, this could possibly be setting up their career or paying for school, you could become a stronger couple from this experience, etc. I think taking care of your son will also help keep you busy. While this is a scary step into the unknown for a lot of us (both those severing and those back at home), you are not alone.
