I am a 40 year old mom of three daughters. I am also a military wife of a reservist who has been gone from home due to training and deployment since January of 2008. I live in a suburb north of Minneapolis..........and due to the lack of military posts in the area my girls and I are very isolated from other Military personnel and their families. There are so many nights I just wish there were other moms dealing with what I am dealing with just to talk to...........If anyone has experience with the Military you know you are not suppose to be negative..........your always suppose to support your solider, but when there is virtually no support for us.......it is really difficult.

I am also a nurse in school going for my NP degree, very part-time because of my husbands career and my young kids....but this to adds to the stress...............don't want to sound whiney.......just wish had someone who knew what I was going through to bounce things off of.
