I honestly can't stand it when he's reffing at night and I can't get ahold of him, and that's only for a few hours, so I can't even imagine parenting on my own for long periods of time. I really feel for you on that one.TheFeministBreederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11202406381622825349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27822310.post-43641707587498104452009-05-27T21:34:01.757-05:002009-05-27T21:34:01.757-05:00On a much, much smaller scale, I understand.

It is scary realizing that if anything happened to me in a crisis, my kids are alone. I have had to teach them, and be sure they know, and drill them, on all kinds of safety issues, in case I am incapacitated. Heavy burden. Very heavy.<br />Also, the military really does need to step up to the plate on the PTSD issue! <br />KamrinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
