Long distance therapies may prove effective. Source: http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/156184.php

    Just wondering is this is the case of military spouses as well. Just think how hard it would be to not only be left alone to care for your family but to have the added stress of worrying about the military encounters that spouse may face while overseas.
