Thank you for offering to help. I have been struggling lately with the reality that my boyfriend is leaving in less than 2 months for boot camp and jump school. He will be gone for about 6 months starting in June. He was originally going to do active duty and be gone for a couple years, but he changed his mind last minute to reserves. Although I am very thankful he won't be gone for very long, I still have these feeling of extreme sadness whenever someone mentions him leaving. I even struggle with not being to talk to him when he's at drill for 2 days. I love that we are super attached to each other, but in this case it makes it hard on me to go from always seeing each other to sometimes not being able to even talk over the phone. I just wanted to know if these feeling are normal and how I can prepare myself for him leaving. Also, I want to be there for him emotionally as I know how hard it will be for him to experience all of this for the first time. I would greatly appreciate any advice you may have to offer. Have a blessed day, Madison

Hello I saw your profile and thought you would be a good person to get advice from, I would really appreciate it. Thanks, Madison

I'm not sure how to update this...I'm going to try on my computer

I'm not sure how to do a private message. That would be better. If you wanna start one that would be great

How are you?
