My husband has been has been deployed 5 times and I've seen the army step up in certain situations such as this and either allow the soldier to stay behind and work at the rear d "rear detachment" (which is basically the home base support for the unit) or come home for a short time to deal with dire family issues. I've seen things from nasty divorces where kids were involved to mental health issues that instead of the army having to handle taking care of the spouse or child they would allow the soldier to come home. Since a Red Cross message was able to be sent I don't see the army not letting him at least come home for a short time. The Red Cross has to assess the importance and validity of messages they send. They won't send any message coming across the desk because of the strict rules they have to abide by. I could be wrong depending on what your husband job is and the fact that the army does what the army wants. Having clinical depression myself I would suggest that if this is your husbands career you two should have a serious sit down and discuss if its worth it because the army isn't just going to give him a nice cushy desk to sit in everytime there is a deployment need. This is their job. A committment they made as the one they made to you when you were married (with a little shorter expiration date I would hope!
) They are government property and have to do as they are told or risk severe reprocussions. This is more than just pleading with the boss at the office. Everyone dealing with depression has different ways of dealing so noone but you and/or the doctor can really be able to tell you what you need for your condition. Good luck little lady and hold strong!
