Military Families
Anyone else alone on Christmas?
I know this is a common theme surrounding the military, but I just wanted to hear that I'm not alone in being a lone (lol). These pregnancy hormones are hitting hard and I can't seem to get over it this time around. I know it's not that bad, but it's Christmas...

Re: Anyone else alone on Christmas?
Well DH isn't here, but I don't consider myself alone either. The kids are making this a pretty good holiday season so far, and my parents are coming up for Christmas, so we'll still have a good time.
He was also deployed the Christmas 2 years ago when I was pregnant with them. That year was hard because I was going through complication after complication, had been on bedrest for a while by that point, and was just overall miserable both physically and emotionally. I was not a pleasant person to be around that Christmas.
Yep, same with us... DH was deployed last year and missed DD's first Christmas and birthday. To the OP, find strength in knowing that you are so not alone in this. Many of us have been there. Talk to other military mamas at your base who can sympathize when you feel lonely - or when in doubt, come here, we're always all ears!
Im lurking and DH is not in the military but he is a police officer. This will be my 3rd x-mas in a row alone. Family is all out of state so its just me and the kiddies. DH works everyholiday and usually pulls OT bc its great $$ .
Last year was hard bc he had a death threat on x-mas eve and the guy said he was going to kill me and the babies on xmas. We didnt tell family bc we didnt want them to worry and the LOs were too young for me to ship out of state alone. So xmas was spent with the alarm set blinds drawn and two screaming babies. nooo fun! Im praying this year will be better!
