the only military people ive ever known (wives, kids, parents, family, friends, themselves, etc) that are *that* strong to not worry are those who dont care about their wellbeing, their familys wellbeing or anyone elses
most people hate it, and thats fine, its how its supose to be, but they go, and we all manage, most of the time the ones you see who are just fine are faking it because tehy think thats how they are supose to act, they think if they dont act like that they will let everyone down and they cant do that so they suck it up when around people and completly break down at home...trust me ive seen quite a few of the break downs
you dont have to be strong, you dont have to be brave, you dont have to be happy about the situation, you just have to accept it
dont be so hard on yourself, no one wants the person they love to go off to a dangerous place where they have a higher possiblitity of dying
talk to your doctor about getting on some meds for your anxiety if you dont think youll be able to controle it
like ive said, my dh is leaving around the same time as yours, ive been scared out of my mind, and so has he, its something that is hard to deal with, if you ever need any help or anything just feel free to pm me ok
