It's been awhile and I can explain... well not really because a lot of it is personal but I will try!!!
You know that feeling you would get as a kid when you would just let yourself go and spin, spin, spin? Well, that is how it has been for me for the past few months and I cant seem to STOP it! And by the way when I was a kid spinning like that made me sick! (the kind of sick that turns you GREEN)
I feel off balance and dizzy!
How to explain...
Well I will start with how much post-deployment SUCKS for us and I cant seem to figure out why?!?! It is by far the most difficult time for my family, don't get me wrong deployment is hard but trying to get adjusted back to a whole family after always throws us a few curve balls! (Like bean me in the back kind of curve balls)!
BUT and this is a big but, we as a family and team will make it and be better from it! We do not walk alone in this and I know God has his arms wrapped around us!
And going through all of these hard times makes me thank God I am married to this wonderful man, who will forever be my HERO and BEST friend!!!
I also wonder how many other mil families have a hard time adjusting and what they do to get back into the swing of things. Have any of you guys experienced a hard time and what helped you?
The spinning will stop eventually and we will be back to our "normal"!
So sorry to hear you have been going through a tough time lately. You went through a lot in a short time, deployment, had a baby, home form deployment, move, new house, new job,so it may just take time to work out the kinks and get into a good groove. Just keep communicating and sharing your feelings about the things your going through.Your a great and beautiful family and all will work out. giving each other time, space and sometimes compromising may help. Lots of prayers and hugs!! Psalm 121.
ReplyDeleteSpinning was never bad, just don't let it flip u upside down, that's when it's bad haha. The trick to a good spin is to fall in the grass and look up, watching the clouds whirl around helps u feel small and simple. Ur a tough cookie and I kno ull figure it out. Love u guys!

Post deployment adjusting was difficult for us too after deployment #2. It took a while (a few months) to get to a new normal. It took a lot of communication, understanding, and praying. We have just begun #3 and I am already praying that post deployment will not be as difficult for us.
ReplyDeleteHang in there! ;)
we had a really hard time adjusting to "normal" when my husband got home but when he left I was pregnant and when he came home our daughter was already 5 months old. EVERYTHING had changed and no one warned us about the transition period. Your world WILL stop spinning . . . eventually!
