Hmm... well I don't know anything about it really but I do know that even babies can get depressed. Maybe he just misses Daddy!

I was gonna say that might be the case too. I always wondered maybe they can send your DH home on a medical hardship? Just something I always wondered I had a girl friend that was an epileptic (sp?) and her DH could never go on TDY or over to anyother country because of there medical hardship.

I would love for a medical hardship. I think my son has severely regressed since my husband left, but its very very hard, and up to a commanders discretion, and my husband has a very strict commander because my husband has a very important job that they really need him for. I wouldnt even know how to go about getting someone to even approach the commander about it.

Go to family advocacy and see if they can help you!

Hmmm, good idea. I totally forgot about family advocacy. The doctors wont do anything, neither will EFMP, so maybe they will, I will have to call tomorrow.

I just wish I could explain why he wont talk. I just feel like a horrible parent.

It could have LOTS to do with DH being gone wasn't he gone another time before this tour?

Yes, he was gone for 6 months, and left when he was 8 months old.
