Summary
U.S. Air Force wives whose children had special health needs were compared to wives of children without special needs on measures of support and resiliency. Wives with special health needs children felt less supported than the comparison group. Resiliency for Air Force wives with special needs kids was stronger for those who have support from friends, neighbors, and the military.
