Sad Vent :(

I’m down lately, I’m missing everything back home; my brother and brother-in-law are getting married, a niece or nephew is due in Nov., my two other brothers are starting high school and I missing it all

I’m so devastated lately, my little world is being turned upside down as everyone carries on without my family, my husband is in the military and I have to support him, as his wife there is no other option, I adore my husband more than most can imagine so it’s no contest, but I miss my family I miss my brothers and I miss everything

I just want to go home but we can’t afford it, honey can’t get off work because they say he is to “important” and I can’t fly nearly 10,000 miles alone with a 2.5yr old… I just want to be a part of something again, I hate living overseas

Thanks for listening...

where are you living overseas?

Do you know how long you have to stay where you are at now?

 

[hollymh]

mjsdhs- We are in Guam

country freedom- we will be here three more years, by that time I I'll have missed everything, plane tickets out of here cost around $2000 give or take some change and on military pay that just isn't going to happen...

is there anyway of flying military transport home for a while?
do you twitter or skype thats another way of having your family feel close..
what about having people from home send you a "home" care pack full of the things that you miss the most about home, non perishables of course

Oh dear,

I was in Ecuador and France a long time, and missed home so much! And that was before email, cell phones, etc. I relied on snail mail, and that was spotty at best.

My salvation was finding an American woman, we became close friends. Hopefully you can make some friends. It won't ease the pain of not having the family around, but make sure you take full advantage of all the high-tech ways to stay in touch!

Please thank your husband for his service, and thank you to YOU for making it possible. You always have you BYC buddies!

Now that's a small Island.
Are there American women there whom you could make friends with?
I was born there (we left when I was a yr old) and if I:
1) Didn't have a GREAT fear of being off the ground so high
2) Had the time/money - I'd fly there! I would like to see what my parents and brothers talked about!

NO need to apologize, let's have a pity party! Sometimes that's the best thing! When you come out of it it feels like a whole new world.
