Re: Newley Weds I have to give 'a pilotswife' a lot of credit on this one.. what she said is very true...
get your wife involved with others in her situation, if you can... and keep in touch constantly. Doug and I use cell phones most of the time and we talk everyday no matter whether he's home or on a trip.
it makes such a difference to tell her she's doing a great job by hanging in there and adjusting so well.
i'm working on setting up a new organization called 'familiees of commercial airline pilots association'.. the website is up at fcapa.org and the bulletin board is starting to take off. there's also a great editorial that someone sent me through the email about how they dealt with all the changes and everything. she really did a great job of explaining and even some of her situation, i went through, so it's easy to relate to.
there's also another chat board called 'pilotswives' on yahoo where alot of married wives and stay at home wives go to talk about what's going on or get advice on certain situations. it's been really helpful for a lot of people including myself.
hope this helps! |
