From Lifetime’s ‘Army Wives,’ an outlet for stressed-out military spouses
by Edith Honan
new york —When “Army
Wives” begins a new season on TV this weekend, it will offer fans not only good drama, but also an out- let to lessen stress on military spouses, some of whom host view- ing parties for the hit show. Longer, more frequent and more dangerous deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan are increas- ingly heaping ever more anxiety on U.S. military families, and ex- perts say the same stigma that stops soldiers from seeking help — it is at odds with the military’s ma-
cho culture — also afflicts spouses. But informal support groups, including some hatched around the Lifetime channel show that has its fourth season premiere on Sunday, are helping to relieve stress by giving overwhelmed wives, and a handful of husbands, a safe, understanding place to vent.
“I think the show makes people feel a little bit more comfortable talking about it, and not necessari- ly like complainers,” said Kristle Helmuth, 23, who hosts “Army Wives” viewing parties at her home near Fort Riley in Kansas. The show is set on a fictional
South Carolina army post and fol- lows four army wives and an army husband who bond over daily challenges and the deployments of their loved ones. Helmuth, whose husband re-
tired after being injured in a 2007 explosion in Iraq, said she has de- veloped friendships with other army wives in California and New York whom she met online and whose husbands suffered injuries similar to her spouse’s. More than 1million active duty and reserve soldiers serve the U.S. Army, which has done the brunt of the fighting in Iraq and Afghani- stan with extended duty and re-
peated deployments. In Iraq, the percentage of sol- diers with marital problems has increased every year since the U.S.- led invasion in 2003, according to the Army’s 2009 mental health survey. A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine in January found that army wives whose husbands deployed for one to 11 months were 18 percent more likely to experience depression than women whose husbands stayed home.
When soldiers deployed for lon-
ger than 11 months, their wives were 24 percent more likely to suf-

Moscow Festival Ballet
Giselle
Friday,April 16 at 8 p.m.
Giselle
In the great tradition of grand ballet, the Moscow Festival Ballet presents the dramatic tale of a peasant girl who loves a count who is disguised as a villager. When Giselle is disillusioned, she dies of madness and joins the ghosts of girls who avenge the evil deeds of the men who have jilted them. It’s a masterpiece filled with betrayal, vengeance and death, but love and forgiveness prevail. This stunning production, with resplendent costumes and sets, blends a haunting score with Petipa’s brilliant choreography. “A
magnificent Giselle.” (Post and Courier)

Coppélia
Moscow Festival Ballet presents brilliant new choreography for the charming classic about a young villager who falls in love with a life-size dancing doll, Coppélia. Franz becomes infatuated with her, much to the chagrin of his fiancée, Swanhilde, who shows him his folly by dressing as the doll and pre- tending to come to life. With exquisite costumes, flowing music, and comical characters, it’s a presentation not to be missed. “They deserved bravos within minutes of the opening steps.” (Las Vegas Review-Journal)

fer depression. While military families with mental health issues can access services such as the Military One- Source program, experts say spouses often resist treatment for fear of appearing weak or harming their spouse’s career. “Mental health is stigmatized,
and it’s hard to get people to access services,” said Jaine Darwin, a psy- chologist and co-founder of Stra- tegic Outreach to Families of All Reservists, which provides free mental health services. A show like “Army Wives” al- lows military spouses to see their anxieties mirrored and legiti-
mized, Darwin said. The show has overcome mixed
reviews to earn a loyal following, and it is the highest-rated program in the history of Lifetime, which targets mostly female audiences. Army spouses say it gives them
an excuse to bond with other peo- ple going through a similar, highly stressful experiences. They also appreciate the way it
celebrates their sacrifices in front of a civilian audience, given that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have faded somewhat from the public’s consciousness, newspaper headlines and TV broadcasts.
