For military and their spouses...

I grew up in a military family. We live inside the military base and my father was, most of the times, with us. There are some times thought that he will take on temporary assignments in far away places for a year or two and as far as I can remember, my mother finds life, looking after as all, extremely difficult. There are 9 of us to care for and most of us were young then. One difficult thing to cope up with is loneliness, when your spouse is assigned somewhere else. So the good trait,perhaps that is needed is the ability to face loneliness temporarily. cheers
