Depression, isolation, loneliness and loss of purpose are common struggles among those transitioning from military to civilian life. Many also face challenges with applying for a civilian job for the first time or reentering the workforce.
However, women veterans may also encounter gender pay gaps, bias against mothers, financial instability, gender-related health concerns, stereotypes about female soldiers, and stress caused by military sexual trauma. Add to these obstacles the frequent lack of a trusted peer network, and one thing is clear: Transitioning to life outside the military can be particularly hard for women veterans.

SFC (Join to see) your post points out some definite challenges that men don't have to deal with such as ..."“I lost a part of myself when I left the military. I expected motherhood to fill the mission and purpose I had felt while in the military,” said Air Force veteran and military spouse Amanda Huffman. “But instead, I found it challenging and that I wasn’t doing enough. Part of it was the challenge of being a new mom. But I also needed something for me besides raising my kids.”... .
Your post will allow women who are returning to civilian life a number of options to assist with their challenges. Thanks for your post.

MAJ Bob Miyagishima - I get it but literally any time something about assistance for women is posted in any topic some man has to chime in with their pov and it's irritating to hear for, well, all my life.
I never cancelled anyone's opinion. You know what - you sure seem like someone who is a perpetual victim and are constantly finding ways to be the victim. Have the day you deserve.
