Deployed Soldier/Father needs your help

[TrentC]

Now that I have no contact order, I am at her whim. If she says anything to anyone on post-I am on the next thing smoking back overseas. So I gotta be careful.

Yes, you do. But the good news is, you're looking better than she is at this point.

Play nice, keep your nose clean, and document everything. Keep any receipts if you go to a movie/restaurant so you can prove your whereabouts; failing that, have your pals take pics of you guys together with their cell phones (so you can remember the good times, of course).

I'm sorry to hear about the irresponsible behavior; blame it on one part fog, one part stress from being the left-behind wife. (And I don't mean that in the DB sense -- as I said earlier, being deployed is hell on a soldier's family.)

I hope you get good news today regarding the OM. Maybe that will start to snap her out of her haze.
