My DH, discharged from the RAAF 4 weeks ago.
He got a job in QLD, so we had a week and a half to pack up and move and say goodbye to all my friends and family.

2 days after we arrived, I had to drop him off at Brisbane airport for his first shift which is a couple of hours from Longreach. I dont know QLD at all, and have nobody here, except my gorgeous girls. I am having to book into new maternity hospitals for my 4th c section which should fall in late October as EDD is 4th of November, and everyone just seems plain rude.

I know he's only away 2 weeks, and then home for 2 weeks, and yes I am used to him being away being a RAAF wife, but it just seems so different now. I'm not sleeping, and Not eating properly, and I feel like crying all the time.

Anyone with any suggestions, or just wanting to say hi, please do... I feel at a loss with what to do.

Wow i think you are doing a super job! Yeah sure he might have been away before but you are in a new place, with kids and pregnant! No wonder you are a bit out of sorts! I really hope things settle down for you and you find some friendly people in your new home town. And of course that the 2 week break comes around really, really fast for you.
My DH does fifo work and just this last week I feel like I have had it. I am not sure either why is has just suddenly hit me, usually I just keep on trucking!
Anyway, here I am playing on the net rather than getting tea ready which is impossible to do at tea time. I really wish there was some healthy drive thru available somewhere for a break!
you take care, try to have a cup of tea sometimes.

for someone that has three kids already and has one on the way,you are doing great. y ou must be a strong women. as for crying and not feeling strong, that is the hormones and also being in a new place. my partner goes away all the time with army,and his work,and it never gets easy.

i use to work in hospitals for 6 years, and in my experience there are not many nice poeple in hospitals...lol just dont take it personal...lol :yes:

i would love to chat with you, and if you need anyone to talk to, just email me. how old are you? how old are your kids?

its ok to cry,love rach
