hello all! i posted here a few days ago but my topic disappeared, so here goes again! my hubby is in the air force and was sent to afghanistan on sunday for 3 months. we have 3 children, ages 15 months, 3 and 6 years old. i am having an extremely hard time adjusting to being without my hubby. we literally haven't spent so much as a single night apart in years. i cry all the time and my heart aches so bad. i take paxil already but everything seems to be closing in on me. i want to be strong for my children because i know how tough this is for them as well, but how can i be strong? we have NO family or friends around here, we're in california, from virginia. i'm so tired and run down, how am i ever gonna make it 3 months without my soulmate? well, thanks for listening. http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/wave.gif

Hi Kim,

I did respond to your post, and I hope you saw it before it vanished.

I think Cuppa (Koko...Kokopelli) had a good recommendation in suggesting that you see the next few months as an extras bonding time with your children.

We are not a replacement for Cadis, but we are here for support. So even though you feel alone, I hope we can provide some comfort.

Tiem might feel as if it is moving slowly, but it will pass, and he will soon be back with you and your children.

Take care and Best wishes,
Chrys. http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif

YEAH KIM WERE ALL HERE FOR YOU, YOU NO I WISH WE ALL LIVED CLOSER SO WE COULD HAVE A RITE GOOD LAFF, YOU KNOW CADIS LOVES YOU, REALLY LOVES YOU, AND ITS NOT FOREVER, IT WILL PASS, OCCUPY YOUR DAYS WITH THINGS YOU SAID YOUD LIKE TO DO BUT SO FAR HAVNT. WRITE HIM LOTS OF EMAILS, YOU TWO ARE VERY CLOSE AND I THINK ITS SO NICE YOUR LUCKY http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/bang.gif when my fella worked away id have my daughter sleep with me lol, stopped the bed feeling empty, if you no wot i mean, l know you got your hands full with 3 little ones, try and get out to the park when its nice and you got rid of your bug, isnt there other air force wifes close by? dont they have groups for the wifes and kids ???? take care and il write soon thinking of you http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/wave.gif

Hey Kim!

First off, here's a big hug of support for you!

(((HUG)))

I have a friend who's hubby is in the US Army and she's told me that there are support groups for spouses who's partners are deployed. Is there anything like that near you? If so, maybe the other wives there could be a bit of support for you.

Remember that you have a lot of friends here to support you while Cadis is away. With 3 little ones to look after the time will fly by I'm sure.

Take care!

Hi Kim, I can totally relate. Lost my husband for six months. Felt like 2 years and we were newlyweds.

The only way I survived his absence was to occupy my time with other things. My house was never cleaner. ha ha

It didn't really help with the heartache, but it sure helped pass the time and occupy my mind while he was gone.

I tried to look at as an advantage. Now I can get some of those things that I have been wanting to do done.

Hugs to you (((((((Kim)))))))) and please check back frequently, we'll try to keep you from being so lonely. Cat http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif

Hi Kim, I don't have much to add really, I know how hard life can be when you're on your own with the children for long periods of time. I have four little ones. Justtry to hold on to the fact that it not forever and I know we're no substiture, but remember we are all here for you when things get tough,
Take Care of yourself and your family, Jay http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/wink.gif

thanks to all of you for your thoughtful words. sometimes i feel better, sometimes worse. tomorrow it will be 1 week. 11 to go. http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/frown.gif i'll check back in later.

thanks kim! things took a turn for the worse today. he blew up at me over something stupid (not turning the cell phone on while i was in the shower) and then i let him have it and it's driving me nuts! why does he have to be such a baby when i already have 3 to take care of? so frustrating...he constantly thinks i'm gonna cheat on him while he's gone and is always asking if i have a guy over. GEEZ! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/mad.gif

Cadis http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/hammer.gif

He is being silly! It is just probably hard for him to be away! Hang in there I am sure it has to be tough on all sides! But he needs to stop treating you like you are going to be unfaithful to him. Just because he has been through that with someone from the past does not mean you are the same way! I am sure he knows that, he just loves you so much he is scared of loosing you. Slap him around a little (he'll like that) & he will come back to reality!
Thinkin of you all!
Kim http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/wave.gif

Yesterday is the past, tomorrow is the future, today is a GIFT, that it is why it is called the present.

hey fly,

I think it's probably natural for him to be extremely cautius though hon, he is so far away and he is so worried... I think most people go through this gosh think about it what if he didn't have a care in the world http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/frown.gif while he is gone just remember its going to be tough on BOTH of you no matter what.... it's called LOOOOOOVVVVEEEEE whatever that is ... and well we all know he Loves you so much he is going to be protective http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif

Hi Kim,

I am just hoping you are doing better hon all this will be over soon and you and cadis will be fine http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif .. you and cadis have a strong bond and it's different then most people some people truely get married just because its comforting to LEAN on someone or have someone there for financial support you and cadis truely love each other http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif and thats a gift maybe pick a friend here to help support while cadis is away this will keep your mind off things a bit.. I find helping someone to be so rewarding http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif but you also have those little munchkins of yours to help you get through this period and when cadis gets home think of all the wonderfull things you guys can do TOGETHER http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif


Hugs hon

Koko

Kim,

Sound to me like you and your husband need to sit down some time and really talk about this. If you don't, it may get worse and I'm sure you don't want that. Be honest with him, but don't criticize. Say something along the lines of "I feel" as a start. For example, like "I feel like I'm losing you when you're gone for long periods of time." "I get lonesome for your smile, the way you smell, and those gorgeous eyes of yours." "It makes me love you all the more, but it's hard on me." "I'm trying as best as I can." "I can't wait til we can spend some quality time together, just the two of us."
Try to stay away from saying things like "You make me feel" or "You're always (this way)". This will make it sound like he's the problem and you don't want to make it into an argument (which may end up happening).
I'm also not suggesting you use what I've said above. Put into your own words. Think about how you really fell before addressing him. Try to think of ways you can help the situation and as him for suggestions as well.
I get the impression you have a very good relationship with your husband. It would be a shame to let it get worse.

Dan

By the way, I've never been married, but that's the way I would feel in your situation.

Hi Kim, just checking in to see how things are going. Did you get a chance to chat with Cadis?
Take care,
Jay

Hi Kim,

Im new here but have been reading alot of the posts here .. I was dating my hubby when he was in college we were to far apart to see each other, so we talked on sundays and i sent him tons of cards. But i no what that feels like to be alone without him 1 day feels like forever.. we are married now ,and have been together for 18 years married 12 we have a 8 year old son. I remember listening to soft music and every song reminded me of him and i cried alot ... So i no how you are feeling. Im sorry you feel so alone but as you no everyone is here for you .. And im sure the kids keep you very busy .. Before you no it he will be home. SO keep your head up !!

Hi. forgive me if I missed this in one of your posts or the replies - but do you have any pets? I'd get a dog if I was you - maybe a labrador retriever. They're so much company. And they are so comforting. I'd get one that's already house broken so you don't add to your frustrations. Just an idea. And we'll be here for you too. I also get a lot of support from my church friends - but a dog can sleep with you and be t here when you get home wagging their tail. http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif I'm a dog lover. Also have a cat who I love even more, but I think she's so special that I doubt other cats are as loving as mine hehe. good luck. Mel

hi mel! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/wave.gif i don't have any pets because i'm allergic to everything in sight! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif i would really like to have an animal but i just can't deal with them! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/biggrin.gif i consider my kids to be my pets, they're certainly wild enough and totally lovable! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/heart.gif at least i don't really have to worry about sleeping alone, they've all taken advantage of my newly empty bed! lol! thanks!

Hey beautiful, Its hard for me as well, but I keep you in my thoughts, and http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/heart.gif . A second never passes that you are not at the front of anything I do. I was reading the posts all the way till I got to where I got upset at you, and could not go further.
First off I'm extremely sorry for being an @$$, 130 deg all day will do that to you, along with hurting in the heart all the time, but I do feel like a BIG @$$ for doing that.(by the way all, we did make up) As far as me thinking you are cheating on me, or may have some guy over. Over here I look at all these people, male and female walking around, maybe 70 percent have a ring on. Even though they have that ring on I see them holding hands, getting close to one another, you know they aren't married to each other, but still use this time to get close to another person, and it makes me sick. I know some of them see the way I look at them (that, how could you look) and they just smile like no big deal. Even though I know in my heart that you would never cheat on me, seeing other people like this would bring anybody down, I go back to my tent, take out the pictures of you and the kids and get my mind off of what's outside my door. I know exactly where my heart is, and the only person with a key to it is you. Sometimes after seeing all of this it will play with your mind. So I'm also very sorry for that. As long as I'm away from you, my every spare minute is devoted to you, be it on the phone, e-mails to you or laying in my bed and looking at the beautiful pictures of you and the kids,(that you snuck in my bags before I left, thanks) and it makes me feel alot better knowing I am comeing home to a family that awesome. I know you water the flowers every night, when you go ou there, look up at the sky, there is a bright star above the tree in front of the door, but just to the left, when you see that star, that is the same star I look at every night to make a wish for us to be back together soon, and I'm also sending all my love strait down to your heart. I love you more than any thing on Gods earth, and I am comeing home to you. Until that time you have all these folks here,(thanks everyone for looking after my Kim, and for your kind words) and you have me to help you through this. Keep a big smile on your face(just like you do when chating back and forth with Niola,Ksavage,and niecsey, you have no Idea how good it makes me feel to hear you laughing while I'm on the phone and ya'll are going back and fourth on I.M.) and keep your chin up, you have alot of people pulling for you, includeing me. I'll talk to you later. Love you A/F. me http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/love2.gif

ps, Hi Kim, Nic and Denise, ya'll take care. big hugs for all of you. http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/love1.gif

You can do this, I know you can, your the strongest person I know. This is nothing like the nine months you reminded me of before I left. This isn't even half of that. I know you can do it, dig deep, you can. You know were I am at all times if you need me, just hit send and I'll be on the line for you. We'll talk later.

last night was horrible! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/eek.gif i went to see "the panic room" with a friend and was gone for only 2 hours and my babysitter let my kids rip my house to shreds! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/mad.gif this was the first break i'd gotten from my kids in 3 weeks and i just wanted to go out and relax. YEAH, RIGHT! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif i had to come home and clean the entire house from top to bottom all over again. i was pissed! it was my friend's boyfriend that was watching my children and he's watched them before and was very good with them, but i don't know what happened. needless to say, he hauled @$$ as soon as i set foot in the door cause he knew i wanted to kill him! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/biggrin.gif now, to make matters worse, my oldest daughter's deadbeat father has resurfaced and we're going to have to battle it out for custody of her AGAIN! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/bigcry.gif how much more can i handle?

What you need to do, is go to a search on the net, do the background thing on him. It might cost us a few dollars to do that, but it will pull up everything in his past, includeing all arrests, warrents served, how many times the cops were called on him, how many times he beat you, everything. Get one of those, It will help. Besides, when he had a lawyer and you didn't, you even blew his lawyer's @$$ out of the water. You are very good at this stuff. If his mom is feeding her lawyers the same bull that he is telling her, then you will make her lawyers look like @$$es as well. You know there is no way a Judge is going to give our daughter to a loser like him, even if you don't have a lawyer. You have all files from all the other cases when he has tried this crap, even when you only asked for joint custody, the Judge saw something in him that said to him, "this guy deserves no custody" so why would you think another judge will. It's not going to happen baby, so slow down, do what you need to do to blow him and his family out of the water. You'll do fine. I would put my life in your hands any time against any lawyer, and thats a fact. You are very thorough, and you leave no stone unturned, they have never been able to win against you, and they anre not going to start now. Hang in there baby. http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/love2.gif

Hi Kim and Cadis~~ I'm sort of new to the board, but I've made myself right at home. Kim, when my husband and I first married, he was in the military and would leave for weeks/months at a time and I would literally have no idea where he was. At the time we did not have any kids, we have 3 now, and I cannot imagine going thru that with children. I just wanted you to know you are not alone and that you will make it thru this. Also remember that Cadis is hurting just as much or more than you are. When he calls and is upset at you or goes off on you, please know that it is because he is hurting and loves you and the kids and misses ya'll dearly.

About your daughter's bio-father, I have a friend who just graduated college, she went back when she left her abusive husband and he was trying to get custody of her children. She figured she was getting so much experience going to court and writing documents that she would just go to school and make it official. She too blew her ex's lawyers out of the water and now has full custody of her children.

Cadis, good luck over there, stay safe. I will keep both you and Kim in my prayers.

By the way, I have been reading all the posts from you two all over the boards and I think ya'll are wonderful and funny.

HI KIM AND CADIS http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/bang.gif me little pair of strangers http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/bang.gif lol l see youve got your hands well full at the moment, dont get upset kim, my oldests father tried to play something similar, he wasted his time because hed had no contact with her for years so he spoiled it for himself, also because he wasnt from the area where i lived or had any family live near me, he couldnt even take her away on access days, dont worry it will all come right in the wash http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/bang.gif they want them then they soon forget http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/wave.gif

hey guys, today has just started but it stinks already! the building where i live is being painted this morning and my landlord knocked on my door at the crack of dawn and asked ME if i could move some stuff on my patio. ME, move stuff on my patio! i told him that he'd better think again if he thought i was gonna move all those cabinets, etc. basically i told him where to go and slammed the door in his face! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/frown.gif i'm normally never that rude to anyone. what is happening? my middle daughter kolby was up crying for her dad all night long, she wouldn't even let me touch her! poor thing, i'm really worried about her. she eats only once a day and that is if i'm lucky. it seems my paxil is not working anymore, either that or i'm officially a wacko! i just want my husband back so i can breathe again! i know that is too much to ask but i know i will not make it 9 more weeks, i just can't. http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/bigcry.gif sorry about this weird post, i just had to vent, not that i feel any better. bye!

my first smile! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/biggrin.gif my friend called me this morning and asked me if i would gather up the kids and come to their house for a cookout. initially i said no because i was perfectly content moping around my place, besides the fact that every time we come home from over there my kids are FILTHY! i thought about it and finally decided to go. we stayed for 2 hours and the kids ran around the yard and played. it was actually a decent day, not perfect, but ok. i did have to come home and put all 3 kids straight in the tub but i survived. I SURVIVED!!!!!!!! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/dance.gif
