BEGINNING OF THE DEPLOYMENT CHATS | THIS MAMA LIFE

[@heymsg26]

Hi - I came across your video from 5 years ago about your son’s silent reflux. I’m dealing with it with my baby right now and it’s complete hell. I related to everything you said. Can you tell me when the reflux resolved?

Such a difficult life to navigate always changing hard to imagine the pressure of being the family “glue” holding it all together the partner that stays at home is a challenging role my heart goes out to each and every one of you.

Hi I've just found your channel for your vlog on Haven. I understand, I am in the military and its hard to leave my partner and daughter, I always think its harder being the one at home then the one being deployed. I want to thank all the the mums and dads out there who keep our families together, while we are deployed. So I want to thank my partner and you, keep it up mama!! ❤💪

Thank you, as a navy girlfriend that dreads her boyfriends deployment, this was really needed. your videos give me a sense of normalcy… something that is usually very hard in the navy

I say exactly the same,when they are gone it is easier because you just get on with life without them,but when they are coming and going the emotions are so much higher for the children! Especially when they're meant to be back and get delayed etc. I remember a lady saying to me when we had first joined a battalion.. to live my life as if he wasn't going to be there,and not make plans for him to be involved and if he is it's a bonus,I thought then it was such a sad way to live your life,but now I completely understand her logic and live by her advice ! You're an amazing mum and wife! Xx

I can so relate to this.. I’m all new to this,but I’ve been watching your videos for ages. But I’m in a new relationship with somebody in the military. The part of being promised their be home but they aren’t.. and I’m still waiting.. 😭 so hard but got to stay strong for each other. Xx

I love watching your vlogs - Im not in the same situation as you as my husband isnt in the military but I can relate to the resentment / disappoint of feeling let down when my husband doesnt come home even though its not his fault and its work. My husband is a service engineer so he goes and comes back when the jobs done...sometimes same day, sometimes not, sometime this country, sometimes abroad, sometimes before kids go to bed, sometimes not. It makes planning anything a nightmare! Your doing an amazing job x

Has he ever thought about doing something different so he can be at home?
