Hi!
I am so sorry you are feeling so upset, I think you have every right to be! Anyone in your position would be feeling emotional if their husband was going away for that long after not being able to spend any time with him.
I would be angry with his boss too - I guess he doesn't have any choice, but I can appreciate where you are coming from as he has such a good reason to want the time off.

If he sleeps all day Monday, does that mean you can spend Monday night together? Maybe you can try and plan something special for the two of you to do before he leaves Tuesday morning.
And just think, maybe the 6 weeks away will make him miss you terribly and be extra extra wonderful and lovely to you when he gets back - absense making the heart grow fonder and all that.

And you know that while he is away, we will be here for you to support you and keep you company and I am sure the time will go by faster than you think. It seems like it always does!
You ARE strong enough to cope with your kids on your own, even if you don't feel like it right now. It's amazing how capable we are and never really realise it until we need it - you will miss him, of course but you will be okay without him and you can be strong and you be strong and we will help you however we can.
I am sending lots of hugs your way, and you can eMail me any time you want someone to talk to or anything.
Try to stay as positive as you can and just make the time between now and when he goes as pleasant as possible so you'll have nice thoughts to keep close to you while he is away.
***lots and lots and lots of hugs***
--Steph
