I'd like to tell you that it will get better....and I really hope that it does. <br /><br />The first month is always the hardest, at least it was for me.

That's right-TURD! I am not looking forward to future deployments, the kid has already bolted on me once in the middle of the night-I can't imagine what it's going to be like when he finally hits high school ( he is only 11). All I can say, you're not alone.

Well they were right, and although I had graduated my (now ex) in-laws said they would take care of my son while I went to college. Well of course, one thing lead to another and while I'm in school, they go to a judge to try and gain custody of him!<br /><br />It was ugly, and all the while MY OWN mother berated me calling me a bad mom (the pot calling the kettle black) and from that point forward our relationship became strained and is now non existent.<br /><br />I guess the point I'm making is - SHIT HAPPENS - family is a complicated, organic, and ever changing entity.<br /><br />I could say "don't feel bad" or "stay strong", but if you're anything like me those words (though much appreciated) do not change the fact you still feel like crap and don't care who knows it.<br /><br />I feel your pain, I don't feel sorry for you I empathize with you because I have been there with my son and now we have the most awesome relationship even if he does live in England and me 5,000 miles away.<br /><br />But now my teenage daughter sounds like she's going down the same path as yours did, tardy, skipping class only mine is a consistent "F" student.<br /><br />I am right here alongside you sister, I know the pain of having a child go live with another family member while everyone else looks on in judgment.<br /><br />Sending you hugs,<br />DomenicaPTSD, A Caregiver's Perspectivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14880657272299182629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7661407942753728954.post-59861494906512408782010-05-09T21:32:15.892-07:002010-05-09T21:32:15.892-07:00That above being said..

Even if you can handle it maybe think about attending them with your children because each deployment is different. Plus with growing children its different for them as well.
