Looking for a forum to talk with other women whose husbands work in Iraq?

Hello! I'm looking for somewhere a little more private to chat/email with other wives who are here in the States while their husbands are either on deployment or working voluntarily in Iraq/Afghanistan. I'd love to share stories and see how it is that you cope with things on a day to day basis, whether it's raising children, answering questions from friends and family, dealing with the confusion that sets in when he's home on leave, thinking about having another child... etc. If you are interested, please drop me a line or if you know of a forum that deals with this topic, please let me know. Thanks a lot!

Update:

On a side note to the first three answers: He's over there as a contract civilian, so there's no FRG unfortunately. To the third guy, I have an AKO account, too - we were both Active Duty Army. Thanks for the offer, though! These are great answers so far, thanks for the enthusiasm! It gets so lonely sometimes and so... WEIRD sometimes. I DO see a counselor, but I'd love to talk with other people who have the same or very similar experiences. Thanks!

    I'm one of those women, however I do not know of any forums. Go to your hubby's unit they should have an FRG for the spouses of soldiers who get deployed. There should be other women there who can talk to you and help you with whatever is bothering you. If you want you can email me.
