Comment on So Your Child is Being Deployed…. Some Soldier’s Mom by Pamela...

Pamela... — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 14:02:22 +0000

I just finished reading every last post! Very inspiring! I found this site quite by accident, while searching in vain for a book. Maybe someone here, could point me in the right direction or make some suggestions please! I am looking for a book for Mom’s (not wife’s, there are many of these), coping with they’re son’s deployment to Iraq!
Up until my son’s deployment, I had an excellent relationship with my daughter-in-law. Now she is so consumed with anger, depression and self-pity over his decision to joined the Army at the age of 31, we hardly ever speak. I’ve tried to be very supportive, including sending her books for coping. I tell her she is his first priority when he is able to call and that’s okay, just call me and keep me informed. Needless to say, she does not, which has caused hard feelings. Okay, sorry for rambling! I want a book similar to the ones written for Wife’s of deployed soldiers, but specific to MOM’s. Am I, asking for, to much?

Would love to see any pictures of the color guard repesenting. My son was proud to be one of the soldier taking part in this.

The Sears site would not allow me to register. I could not find a link to click on to register. Could you let me know where to go. By the time I figure out where to go the registration date will probably expire. Please get back to me. Thank you.

og on November 20th, 2009 5:28 pm posed above that he submitted exactly we we did for my husband and has received the same reply… Funny enough on the same dates Nov 9th and 18th…

I am thinking (hoping) that payments will be like normal LES and be issued on the 1st and 15th after they have been sent over to DFAS…

Hey one can only hope – and since I have requested direct deposit and my husband is no longer in the military I await the third – that would be the the first + 2 days for my bank to process…… I’ll keep you posted…. but I’m not spending the mortgage money on Christmas just yet… Hey I know how military processes “work” ….
