Deployed Soldier/Father needs your help

[SoldierDad]

bluerain, I have done just about everything I can do to protect myself, except hire legal counsel-which I will be visiting on my R & R for advice. I really feel so much more in "control" of myself, and am steadily gaining the self-confidence I had lost a long time ago. You would think I was pretty self-confident considering my profession and position in it, but I was really lacking there. I am working on that, and I have to remind myself daily that I am a good man/father. You are right, this is damn hard work, but work I am willing to put in nontheless. I have to tell you, I have served in 2 wars, 6 deployments, and various other conflicts, but NOTHING I have been through compares to what I am dealing with right now. I think it would be much easier just to give up, and let her have her divorce, but I would like to keep my family together, I think it is very important in the rearing of children to have a stable home. Although, being Military kids, there really is no such thing as stability as far as their dad goes-you know? But, I do the absolute best I can. That is where the W comes into play, but she isn't fulfilling that role right now, instead, she is assuming the role of teenage girl. So hard to understand and deal with...
