[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 337061, member: 1157"] I'm glad your mother is able to give you a break, that is wonderful. I wanted to caution you about counting on things being "better" when your husband gets home. I was a military wife a long time ago, and while my then-husband wasn't deployed for months at a time, he was gone every few weeks for a week to 10 days. I remember thinking how he'd step in and give me a magical break once he was home after being away for a few weeks.. and inevitably, I was let down, he was frustrated, and the kids still acted out. I found the first week he was back to be even more stressful than the ones while he was gone, to be honest, because it never lived up to my expectations. And that's when we were still getting along :-P Hope you reach the psychiatrist soon, and get some suggestions. [/QUOTE]
