Topic: What happens when a parent goes to war?
Our soldiers aren't just peacekeepers anymore. They've been fighting a war in Afghanistan. And they've been dying. The levels of stress on the kids they leave behind are going through the roof as the death toll rises. It's been called a mental health crisis. Have you ever thought about it - the pressure on these families? Have you ever wondered how you'd cope? Next Tuesday on Remembrance Day - think about the kids left behind as their parents go to the front lines. Come here to tvoparents.com and listen to three parents directly affected by the war in Afghanistan, even though they live 10,000 kilometres away, at CFB Petawawa, just north of Ottawa. And let us know what you think...

Surprise
I am new to this forum and was very surprised that on one had responded to this thread. Our military is so front news I am surprised no one has commented on the stresses that military families go through. I wonder is it lack of interest or lack information?
