Ok, so here goes; I don't really like airing my...difficulties, I'd rather be the stoic type, but I have my kids to consider. My husband is in the military reserves and we just found out that he will be leaving for South West Asia in 3 weeks for about 16 months. Is there anyone here in a similar situation that can give me advice on how to prepare my sons? One is 5 and the other is 8 months. The baby will cope ok, but I'm worried that he will forget who his daddy is. Please offer any suggestions. Thanks.
