: Home Sick Dear Homesick, Remember your boys will grow up and you that you need your own life and identity. Maybe you can look into special duties?
There are ways to learn something new -try taking some CLEP/DANTES during lunch time - get some classes underway - you won't feel as trapped if you are doing something for yourself. You will be a better mom when you take care of yourself. The feeling of accomplishment I get through education has inspired me to apply for Bootstrap and OTS!! Things I never thought I could do....
