Thank you la la That does make me feel better. I'm sure your right about the sinus thing I remember when I was in high school I was friends with some guys who joined the Marines they wrote me about the gas chamber this may sound crude but they were saying something about snot rinning out ...Hey maybe it's a good sinus cleaning thing who knows? Ya'll we have to change all neg int pos ami right?

I think my son was actually looking forward to the gas chamber!!  hahahaa. that way, he can say he did it. Kinda like a scary ride at an amusement park. Makes you scream and you're scared, but in the end it's like "yeah, I did that!!"

I know it's hard for him too. :(  It actually makes it even harder knowing that he's wanting to just come home.  He doesn't seem to like the future he sees anymore.   He did it to provide income, but insurance is no worries for me 'cause I get medicaid for being mentally disabled.   I are teh unstable in le head. :P

 

What you just described is what I'm afraid of.  I really can't have faith I could handle that much time apart.  I didn't really go into this with him.  He sorta just said, "trust me, this'll be good for us"  and then away he went.  The more  learn, the less I like it.  I wish I could've known all this before he left, 'cause I really would have told him not to go.  =\   I remember there was a point in time where I DID tell him we could never be together because he was leaving.  People with my disorder (borderline personality disorder) do not do well with people leaving...  

Thank you for all the advice though. I'll continue to try to stay relatively sane, but I have already gotten to the point that I need to stop writing to him, because I'm only able to write depressing things right now. :(  I have no friends to be involved with... and have pretty bad social anxiety, so trying to find friends has never worked for me.   I often wonder how I ever ended up engaged in the first place.  hahaha.

@dianne- my husband died when my son was 21 days old. It caused me to be overprotective with him and I mean completely and irrationally over protective. I did not want to leave his side, EVER. Even the kindegarden teacher had to kick me out of the classroom. We were very poor b/c I could not hold a job - I was too afraid to leave him.  When he left for the Navy it caused me to have so many feelings of loss that I can't even explain it.  I'm okay now, but man was it HARD for me.

Linda, Try not to worry about the gas chamber. It really isn't too bad. My daughter said it was not near as bad as she expected or as the video's she had watched. In fact for those who have colds and sinus stuff going on it really to seems to clear all that junk out and they feel a lot better after it is all over.

Squeekerz, I know it is hard sweetie but just try to remember it is hard on him being away from you and the kids as well. I am sure this is something that he feels is the right thing to do for all of you. To provide a steady income and insurance for all of you, a home and a safe place to raise your children. Join some groups for girlfriends and wives and get involved with some mommy and kids groups. It will be hard but it will be worth it. And they are not always gone 6 months at a time. My daughter's ship was gone for a couple months then back for several months, then it was gone for a little over 6 months and back for 2 and then gone for a couple of weeks (not everyone went) and now it is in drydock for 18 months. The times apart will be hard but they will make you stronger and you can do this if you believe it yourself. You just can't sit at home waiting on him all the time, you have to be involved in something, school, training, career, hobbies, volunteering, or a combination of many of those. Keep yourself busy and take this time to follow some of your own dreams :-) I will pray for you to find the strength you need :-)
