I just read through this thread. I posted to you in the D forum. I am not saying that I give great, or even good advise, but did you read it?
I really like my water balloon analogy. Its statagy honey. You didn't get to be a Sgt w/o learning statagy. Think outside the box.
I walk by faith, that may not sit well with many, I do not mean to offend, hope that it didn't bother you. You pray and you will get answers, I promise.
I completely understand the panic, the distress, the feeling of hopelessness. Don't get me wrong in any way. We have all been there. We want advise, and we want it from people that have been successful. Heck what is the point in hearing from someone like me, seperated almost 1 year, and no closer to "success," maybe even farther away.
I have seen lots of good and bad advise. Honestly, I've given some horrible advise. but I have learned.
Please take care of you, don't talk to your W at all unlees it is absolutely necessary about any topic. Trust me when I say that you are better off being in the dark than pushing for answers right now. Just turn it over to God.
There is hope.
You seem to be pushing extremes right now. That is not a critism. It's normal. Just trying to give you perspective. your in all or nothing mode, and it just doesn't work that way. I am sure that you know enough about your allotments to know what you must provide per army reg's. BAH, BAHII sep allowance et al. Provide it, don't cut her off, she is taking care of your kids. I am not saying play sugar daddy, just don't mess yourself up with not providing the allowances. My H has/is doing that - fool. Guess that he know that I am not going to screw him over, either that or he doesn't realize that I can access public info on the DOD website.
There is lots of hope. You need to start the ball rolling in the right direction by letting go of the panic.
And take care of yourself.
GodBless.
Happy belated B-day. Today is mine. Yes, it would have been nice to be acknowledged, but you know what, I will be blessed with other things more important that hearing happy birthday from my H today. and so will you
anyway. lots of love, I got to run and p/u my kids.
