[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP - I haven't read all of the responses but wanted to chime in with some encouragement. I had to leave my family for three months for a work assignment as well, and it turned out fine. It was very, very hard, but it had to be done and it has not impacted my relationship with my child in any negative way. DC got great bonding time with DH, DH and I both appreciate each other more, and it was a good and important work experience for me. We don't ever want to do it again, though. I did FaceTime as much as I could and came home on a few weekends, and I think that helped. I cried in airports a lot (both coming and going) over how hard it was to leave them. Reading and reflecting on military moms who are deployed was helpful for perspective too. Three months is long, but it does come to an end. Good luck. [/quote]
