Military Child Needs Help!?

There is nothing wrong with letting others see you cry. All those feeling bottled up inside need to be shown. later in life there will be more changeling matters and if you don't learn to show them now you will become a cold callused person that every one will not want to be around. Your father is screaming inside worse than you are.

My wife sent me a video when I was over seas that was in 1988 and to this day I have not seen it. I know parts of it because she told me in a letter but it hurt way to much to see my kids playing. They were having a hard enough time getting by. I didn't want to make my own time away any worse than it already was. I have kept those things to myself and to this day it I very difficult to show many things. So trust me show them now because later it will be to late. I never got to see our first two kids take that first step or hear them say those first words. I have been told it is on the tape I missed it then and I have to live with it. I have never seen our grandson do those things. So in short I am not as close emotional to them as there mother is . I can not bring myself to it. I see it ever single day now but I can not turn back time. Only live with what I have now. It hurts more than words can describe to you what goes on with in. I can try to share with the wife but even that is difficult at times.Don't bottle these things up let your little brother ans sister now it is OK to cry.

You do not have to worry about crying. It is normal to cry and even hardcore soldiers cry at deployments. If you really do not want to cry, think about how you felt when he came back home from his last deployment. If you do cry, do not worry. He and everyone else will understand. Sometimes, it is not a good thing to bottle emotions up because they may come out as something unintentional later on. For instance, you might end up yelling at one of your siblings. Try to keep busy during his deployment and help your mom with the younger kids. She will appreciate it. Keep the little ones busy so that they do not have lots of time to think about Dad not being there. Since you are getting older, ask your mom how she doing or how she is feeling. She will enjoy the company.

Good advice Candy. Please remove your email. Not everyone here is a "safe" person. By the way, if you need support, contact your school guidance counselor. The military has provided school guidance counselors with materials to help kids of military members. If your counselor does not have these items, he can contact the local recruiting station and they should be able to help out. In additions, your Dad's unit has a Family Support Group and leaders are typically trained to help those who need it.

First of all next time don't put your age on here, just say you are a military dependent.. What I would do if ask your dad who thier family readiness people are and see if they have a teen group, and if not maybe you can start one while your dad is gone.. Maybe like a facebook thing, or in person panel at the unit.. Don't worry he will be alright and you will be able to email, skipe and Yahoo IM with web cam I'm sure.. DOn't worry about crying everyone does it... Just hug him, say you love him and all will be fine. Email me anytime if you have question. I just retired Army and my husband is deployed currently and my kids grew up in the military with me so I understand..

The first thing you need to know is, it's okay to cry! There's really no way to not cry, and you shouldn't try not to.

If you feel yourself tearing up in front of your family, don't hesitate to leave the room if you feel you need to. Excuse yourself to the bathroom, or go to your bedroom. Don't try not to cry altogether - it won't work, you'll just get frustrated, and you'll cry harder later on. It's okay to miss your dad.

Remind yourself every day that he's doing an amazing thing for his country and is securing a great future for his family. He's a very brave man, and continue to wish him luck and wait until he comes home. You're doing great!

No your militia identity card won't artwork in any respect, you will require passports. in basic terms the advert member can use his/her militia identity while vacationing on orders themselves, dependents can by no skill use militia identity for flights. they're even recommending that advert militia have their passports in the event that they desire to commute so as that they do no longer profile themselves as advert members. in the event that they desire to commute around Europe then they're going to need the passport. there is two sorts of passports and you are able to have the two. there is the government Issued No cost Passport that's issued once you're turning out to be Command Sponsorship. The No cost can in basic terms be used while flying on orders to and from a distant places us of a. they're issued via the government to workers & their families while assigned to an distant places us of a. Then there is the vacationer Passport which you relatively want in case you would be vacationing at every time exterior of hte orders consisting of back and forth to the U. S., going to France, Italy, and so on.... you are able to document for the No cost on the backside he's assigned to or the closest base to you. If he isn't with then you definitely you relatively require a potential of criminal professional to document for the passports. the only cost to you is the photos. The vacationer Passport is $one hundred for adults $80 5 for little ones and is solid for 10 (adults)/5 (little ones) years. you may get them on the placed up workplace close to you that does them.

TAKE down from your site the fact that people can email you......you have stated your age etc etc so stop people from being able to reach you NOW.

You do not have to not cry in front of your brother and sister...........it shows them it is ok to be sad for the moment but that you also have to stop crying and keep together and help mum as best as you can.
