Postdeployment prblm: When a spouse is deployed away from home for more than a short time, the remaining spouse must take over all the duties at home. After deployment, the roles that each partner, and even the children, has will probably change. This is stressful for all, so everyone in the family needs to be ready for these changes and to be flexible and open to discussing and trying out new roles.

Communication is key, in order to understand the unique challenges each faced during deployment. Good source of info follows: http://www.Realwarriors.Net/family/change/spouses.Php.
