Hi. I'm new.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi. My name is Paula. I am 17 and My boyfriend has joined the army recently.

So I know there are other spouses here who have been through worse but right now, I jus feel terrible. It hasn't been long since my boyfriend has been gone. Yet, today, I am just feeling REALLY down today. I have been for awhile.
I don't know. I just need someone to talk to. It's hard to talk to my family because they don't really get it. I mean, they try and help by telling me it'll be ok and he'll be back soon.
I know that. And I'd wait for him. No doubt about it.

Ok. I feel like I'm rambling. Sorry.
Thanks for reading.

im currently in afghanistan. You may never know about the situation, but being apart of it entitles you to know about military life. So...if there really is someone you want to chat with. it should be the boyfriend, who is experiencing all of these things first hand. not some other spouse who is trying to deal with the situation just as much as you are.
