In the beginning I would vent these on my husband but over time I have learnt that its hard for everyone and that I need to be more positive to help everyone, including myself, adjust (lol normally just in time for the next move).

    I hope you find your dream home soon.
    Why do you move so much?

    You can blame the Airforce for that. Although looking at the positives we would not have gotten the chance to live in the USA for three years if it wasn't for his job.

    Solo,

    I know this isn't in response to your question, but just a thought... Do you think that maybe you perceive lots of negative stuff happening to you because that is what you focus on?

    I'm sure in the past several months there have also been good things in your life, but maybe you aren't giving them equal time.

    yes, in some ways I do, it just has been a very stressful past couple of months. My DH and I are so happy to be back in CO and I know our current situation is only temporary. I know it is not a good excuse however I grew up in a family that was negative. My DH mentions it all the time that compared to his family mine is much more stoic, and usually not very chipper. I am very chipper at work because I feel that it helps my patients get through another day with plenty of laughs, i just have to bring that atitiude home. I guess now that I wrote that it makes much more sense to me. My DH deserves more of my positive attitude then I let him see. After I say negative things I feel bad and often get frustrated. On the positive note, I have gotten far better then I used to be many years ago. Hope all is well with everyone. S

    Don't just do it for him...do it for you as well.
