Question

What military wives support groups are located in minnesota? How can i feel so alone at times is that normal?

Answer 1

If you think military wives are lonely  try being a reservist wife

Being in an area that there is no base near

If you are lucky there is a Base near you weather it be the branch

your spouse is in or not.   They will help you with some sort of

support.  

There is no bases where I live and the reserve center is 2 hours away

They are only in 3 and half days a week and it is hard to get them to

talk to me.    They do however will call me or email me if they have questions  about my husband.   Recently  I got an email from them.

They asked me what my husbands address was that the box we had

made up for him 2 months before was returned to the center.  

Answer 2

there should be a Family group with the unit your husband is in , where all the wives can get together monthly .  i know how you feel . and it is hard at times . my husband has been in iraq for 7 months now and i miss him deeply .   if you ever need someone to talk to keep me in mind .  its helpful talking to other wives . and we can help eachother .   we Military wives gotta stick together :)

send me a message or something , if you like  

Answer 3

In addition to FRG's and spouse clubs,  there is also a nonprofit organization based in Virginia called the National Military Family Association, whose mission is to advocate for military families.  I am actually an appointed representative for the NMFA, and there should be reps in your area.  They are a great source of information, as well as a place to go if you need assistance.

The NMFA was responsible for passing the Spouse Survival Benefit in congress, and also for Operation Purple camps for the children of wounded soldiers. They award scholarships, and are very active all around the country.

Check out the website at: www.nmfa.org, and read a little bit. I would try and get in touch with the NMFA rep. in your area.

Answer 4

Well i know how you feel... Sometimes the military life let spouses feel lonely but that is the life we chose (at least most of us). If you need someone to talk... I am here

Answer 5

What branch is your husband with? Go to yahoo groups and search for Minnesota military wives. You should be able to find something. If your husband happens to be in the Marines, I can suggest a VERY active and hugely supportive group for you to join. I've been a part of this group for four years and I would highly recommend it. It's not only for MN wives/girlfriends, but there are ladies from all over the country who are either in a relationship with or married to a Marine. Here is the link, if it is the Marine Corps you are affiliated with: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/USMC_GALS/
