I had a hard time. On top of dealing with deployment and return, I came home and got pregnant within weeks. I was called names and told I got pregnant on purpose. I was told that I let everyone down and that I more or less had done something horrible by letting that happen.
We women had a harder time, I think because when we came home there was no leniency. We came home and immediately had to fill the role of mother and wife. No one expected us to be hurt or bruised by anything on deployment.
I put my head down and pushed through it as hard as I could. That was all we could do.
