I had to get used to work not being the priority over my relationship. The military always has first priority over your time, and it becomes easy to let work function the same way after you separate. The fact is that my family should come first unless there are exceptional circumstances. Anybody else? What other challenges have you had?

Based on professional and friendship, you kinda stray away from everyone. Since you're so far away from your duty station, you just lose touch with people. I don' know exactly how to explain it; I guess it something that you have to experience. There's just this void between you and your friends and no matter what you do, you can remove the void.

People on the outside have no idea or comprehension of what you have been through and can't begin to relate. You may seem like a total stranger to them.
