text: any marine wives out there? husband deployed?!? hi, this is my husbands second deployment and i really miss him! we just had a baby girl who he hasn't seen since she was 3 weeks old she is now 4 months old, and he will hopefully be home in august. anyway, my question is (if your hubby is deployed or ever has been) how did you keep yourself from going crazy!?!?! lol just wondering how others cope w/ this... i'm getting very anxious for him to come home! staying busy with my baby, praying, talking to other wives... these help me pass the time. it is nice to hear from others that are going or that have been through the same thing. what do ya think ladies? i'm actually army, but i've been through one deployment and we're waiting for the official verdict on the second.  you sound like you're doing the right thing, talking to people who are going through the same thing, etc.  it is hard and i don't want to sound cold, but you get used to it.  i know it's harder for those who are relatively new in the military, and hard for new parents, but you get in a groove and things go easier.  stay strong, he needs it as much as your baby does.  stay positive, don't watch the news too often if ever (i never did, it's a lot of worry and not the whole story), and keep that support structure around you.  and know what community resources are there for you in the military.  they're already paid for by your tax dollars, so use them, it's like getting a tax refund every time you do.   it's almost over, keep your head up, girl.
