Your daughter's recital is coming up; your son is getting braces and he's anxious about it; there's conflict in your home...and then you get the news. Your job is sending you out of town for six months. That's the kind of stress military personnel face all the time. The stress is compounded in military stepfamilies when the biological parent is the one deployed. The Military Ready Stepfamily comes alongside families and helps them prepare. If you know a military stepfamily, tell them about it.
