I have a nine year old son with my husband. We have been married 13 years and he has been deployed 6 out of 13 years. My husband has been home for only 3 of his birthdays. Currently he has been in Iraq for 19 months. My son, is a great little boy. Lately, he has been declining academically and socially in his new school. His pictures lately, are confusing. He draws sharks eating happy fish, ships and helicopters with guns and stick people without faces. Is he exhibiting signs of depression? Or maybe loneliness? Whats the difference?
