Ok, one of my friends back home was just asking me some things and I am now wondering if he isn't right. He brought up this little nugget when I told him I was going to stay at the house-in my own room, in my own bed: think about it. You are the husband that just got back from a combat zone (PTSD), and your wife told you that she wants a divorce and now you're enraged. She will do whatever she has to, to make you leave. So why even go there, and let it get to that level? What if she calls the police and says that you threatened her? You're just going to have to leave anyway. Don't set yourself up like that. Go for the kids. If she tells you that she doesn't want you to stay there, just bring them to my house. Women always have the upper hand. Why would you want it to escalate into something stupid... Just so you can have your way? You don't want your boys to be around any of that!
Thoughts on what he wrote to me? As always, thanks.
Because you don't give in to the demands of a terrorist.
If you are enraged then don't show up. If you are going to escalate don't show up. Women don't always have the upper hand.
Get some legal advice.
