Finally got time to read some posts on steemit and I headed here.
My brother recently got married and my bhabhi comes from an Army family. Only yesterday she told me about her childhood and how she had to move from places to places due to her dad's job nature. While I laid down on my bed yesterday night, I gave this a long profound thought and realized the grass is always greener on the other side. We usually think of people who are in armed forces as someone who have a lot of perks and other stuff but we (me) don't know the sacrifices the family has to make for that. I mean, 2 years ago when i was leaving my family house ( I posted about it on steemit) I got depression. Leaving a place where you lived your entire life isn't easy and then there are people who have to leave every 6 months.
You tell me, doesn't this lifestyle make ut easy for you guys? I mean y'all don't get attached to a place for a long time. But then there's the issue of children's schooling, their friends, they're always moving, doesn't it affect their mental health?
Many Congratulations to your brother. Best wishes to him. (My brother got married too recently.)
I'm happy that your bhabhi softened your heart for forces. 😀
Only yesterday, my son had tears in his eyes saying goodbye to his friend who was moving to another place. I counsel him in times like these. Good thing is, kids forget and move on quicker than us adults.
As for me, it has gotten easier with time. But I still get emotional leaving everything behind and starting over, specially when leaving family-like friends behind.
Education, domestics... everything gets disturbed. When things finally start to settle down, it's time to move again.
