Welcome Home!!!

I know it must be so hard to come home after a year and you want to reconnect with your W and family (I used to LOVE hugging my H after a long deployment). labug is right though, you have to learn to live in your current sitch and keep focusing on the future... and you.
my .02:
I know the transition from 'soldier' to 'civilian' is a challenge and I hope you are able to step out of you boots and into your work shoes with ease. I do have a concern (and this might not apply, but keep in mind)... I've had many friends that come back and they are fine, other come back with ptsd and depression. With your current M issues and it being the holiday season, I'm concerned that you might be more susceptible to these. Please be honest with your C and honest with yourself- if you ever start to get overwhelmed by you 'new life', get the help and guidance needed to heal. I've lost 2 friends that were embarrassed and none of us knew, until it was too late.

I think that's awesome you found a D group to join! Keep posting and let us know how we can help!
