Having a father in the military can be extremely stressful. I am not an army brat or anything so I can't give personal experiences but I can't imagine what it feels like to never have the security of knowing he will be there everyday when you get home. Just because he is physically home doesn't mean your son isn't afraid of him leaving again. Y'know?

My brother in law is a police officer and, even though he comes home everyday, his daughters (my 5 and 7 yr old nieces) have nightmares about robbers coming in and killing him, about him dying from someone shooting him etc.... So even though nothing has happened for them to have these fears, they know what danger is involved. I could see a child with a military father having those same fears. I hope something gets resolved.
