Hi! I'm a total newbie here, but I found this place and thought it seemed like a nice place to talk to and hear from people! I'm a stay-at-home mom with two daughters, 14 and 7. My husband unfortunately has to be away from home a lot with work (active-duty military) and he struggles a lot with feeling disconnected from us. 
We talk as much as we can, exchange photos, but I know he feels very lonely and feels like he's not really a part of our lives. Even when he is able to come home he feels like he is playing catch-up, like he's missed too much and can't really connect. We love him very much and want to do everything we can for him -- I just struggle to come up with things and wonder what we can do. I wonder if anybody else out there has been in a similar situation? Do you have any advice? Thanks! --Sarah
