The Unspoken Fear from a Military Spouse
“There’s an Elephant in the room, and it’s been around since the word ‘deployment’ first escaped from my husband’s lips.
Sometimes the Elephant is actually in another room. Out of sight, out of mind.
I obviously prefer it that way.
Because sometimes the Elephant isn’t just in the same room with me; it’s in my face and sitting on my chest, crushing the ability to catch my breath; making it impossible to breathe and even harder to even think straight.”
