Alright, I'm just going to say it...

I'm lonely.

Yes, I the Army strong "power of one" wife and mother is admitting...I'm feeling lonely.

This one statement seems so hard for wives to admit. Maybe it's guilt. Maybe it's denial. Maybe it's worry over being ridiculed. I really don't know why it's so hard for women to admit it.

My sense is that it's a combination of lots of things...for example. If you're a military wife, or wife of someone who travels frequently, you're often corrected if you admit to being lonely while your husband is gone. Why is that?

I have had some very good friends tell me that because I told them that I was lonely, I was ADMITTING weakness. Well, let me tell you "strong women" something. It's OKAY to be weak. It's OKAY to cry. It's OKAY to have a day that you don't even feel like you can drag yourself out of bed.

I am SICK of being told that showing weakness in unacceptable. It's not.

It's real life. It's real people with real feelings.

Get off of your high horse and find someone else to correct and belittle.
This girl is OKAY with being herself even if it means showing some weakness.;)
