Deployed Soldier/Father needs your help

[MichelleLT]

My XH and I S 2 1/2 yrs ago, got the first small bomb 3 yrs ago, and I still have triggers. Certain songs, women that look like OW, her name, his name.

$h!t. The Army is way too small. I work with people at my day job that are in his national guard unit. In some ways I can't get away from it. When I go over to HQ, I run into his old 1SG half the time.

The difference is, it doesn't make me spiral down the way it used to. I can be sad about it, then move on to something else quickly. At first, I had to be conscious of it - distract myself, force myself not to dwell on it. Now, it's easy. I snap out of it faster and with much less effort, sometimes without even really thinking about it.

Time helps.

So does being smiled at lol.
