My brother just left for the service for training for the Army.
He won't be back until Christmas.
He's like half of me.
My problem: I don't have really good coping mechanisms. I cry a lot. I've found negative outlets that in the end, they don't help anyone anymore.
All I am asking is if anyone has a sibling, parent, or relative that's in the service...? What are your coping mechanisms while they are away?
And if you can't relate, any advice?
I didn't get it until he was gone this morning. I really didn't get it. Of course I hugged him. And said please write. I forgot to say I love you, the simplest thing because I got only about an hour of sleep. It's no excuse. I just feel terrible I guess.
In a few days, I'll be numb. He won't pass away in basic training, it's just that he's my brother, of course I am going to be really emotional.
