My husband left on 6/5/13... Having problems
Hello,
My husband left for basic training on 6/5/13 and since then things have been worse than we expected. We have a 1 year old daughter who is not coping well with him being gone. She has always been a big time daddy's girl and without him here shes been having nightmares and is very disobedient and angry towards me. Also she has separation anxiety, she thinks when I leave the room I am leaving her forever...She always runs through the house every day calling for him and looking for him till she realizes he still isn't there. It putting more stress on me and making this way harder on me than it already is. Before anyone says "A one year old does not know right from wrong yet" My daughter is very very smart and everyone thinks she is at least 2-3 years old with how big she is and how well she speaks. Me and my husband have spent every waking moment together for 3-4 years now and its hard on me as well being separated, even if it is this early into his Boot Camp.. Any advice would be helpful for me at this point in time because I'm so down in the dumps right now...

my husband was in Pcola for a school. his schooling was only a month, and I still went down there to be with him. the navy didn't move me of coarse. I just loaded all my stuff in storage, stuffed our car pulp full of what I needed and drove a cross the country. :)

CTR.
How did it work getting your things out of storage? Did you have the military move it from the storage unit to your first base? Did you have to be there when/ if they did?

someone does have to be there when the navy moves your stuff, but we moved ourselves. we are from Idaho , so all our stuff was there, and I drove down to florida. and his first orders were to Washington so our stuff was on the way. the navy paid for the gas to get back to Idaho , then reimbursed us for our move from Idaho to Washington
