How hard

I never realized how hard this would/could/can be...

I thought the first deployment was difficult, but at least then I could cry when I needed to - not talk to anyone when I needed to, and hide in a hole when I needed to. This time...

hell this time doesn't even compare.

I'm scared each and every day - I hold it in well... At least thats what most people tell me... but I'm still scared. I want to cry, and tears leak out throughout the day if something remotely touches me... but I can't seem to sit down and have a real cry. It just wont come out... It refuses.... 

I've thought about having my mom watch the little man for me so that I could have a few hours just to let everything out... to relax enough for my guard to come down. Yet I haven't done so. I want to kick someone's teeth in, but I don't know whose.

Yet at the same time I don't feel like I have the right to complain - my husband is coming home to me. I'm lucky. 

I hate this... the contradictions. The waiting, the self-loathing... the doubting.... 

I need to go...
