New here but could use a shoulder to lean on!!

Also check out your local newspaper for local groups for ppl with little kids, maybe like at the library. They are usually free and you can get some time out also. Maybe you could join a church group, a lot of times they have child care while you are in the group, and you could meet up with some ppl your age.

I wish I lived closer to you! I would sit for you for free and also be your friend/mentor. It sounds like you are really in despair.

You will have to make your own happiness, Kirstie and also make sure you have happy children too. Just take them into the library and have them pick out books and just spend time with them reading and playing, crafting with them, etc. You will find they will bring out the happiness in you.

I know you miss your husband. Is there no way to see him more often? It seems so unfair that you cant.

You come here anytime you want to talk or vent.

PM me anytime you want or need to talk. I am there for ya

I'm very concerned about you. I'm wondering how old your childern are. You may have postpartum depression and need medical advice. It can strike anytime in the firt years after giving birth. It may have something to do with the strong feelings you're having.

I'm so sorry that you are feeling so alone. You have to focus on the children and yourself for now. Find groups for parenting and get involved with them. You'll be surprised at the friends you will make. They have groups that you can bring the kids with and do activities, or have them watched so you can have some free time with other adults and discuss your parenting problems and tips. They may have information through a community center or the local social services. There may even be a group for parents of men in the armed services there. I'm sure you're not the only Mother and wife that is having these troubles....There has to more wives close to the base that you could become friends with. Keep looking and give it a little time. You'll make friends!!

I do understand how you're feeling. We moved last summer to a town where I don't know anyone and it is far from my family. I do hope this gets better soon.

Like Mamanordy said, check the papers or go to the library and see what they have to offer. They may have a story time at the library. We are here and will do our best to help you get through your rough time. Your friend,Chris

But since I can't be there for you, I can give you some hints. My son is a Capt and I "know" from him, that you CAN go to that doctors commander and file a complaint. Here, give me the form, and I'll fill it out...ggggrrrrrr

PM me and we can talk more ok? Hang in there, and "Be a Tuffy"...don't take their words...bug them so much they will have to give you your meds. Otherwise, you stay close to this site, and we will ALL get you through this rough patch. Be proud and 'happy' for your husband....will he someday be looking down on us from Space? He could position the ship over the doctors office and.....HA ~ well, I'll leave that thought alone...mile: I'll post more to ya'll later. Sending you ALL my love and I wish you better days Carolyn! We all have to 'Make our own happiness'.

A movie or the radio always helped the heaviness in my head and body. It helped time pass quickly and I could almost forget that I hurt. Please find some help. We are rooting for you.
