Re: Troubled Family
I come from a long line of military in my family and can pass on a bit of wisdom passed to me and I have seen proven as true.
On my fathers side they have been in the military back to the revolutionary war and even before (The settling of Virgina) My mother and her father were also military. I grew up on base. Both of my grand fathers fought in WWII and my father in Nam.
My father always cautioned that you need to go in for the right reasons and you can only get from it what you want to get if that. For some people it is a really good thing, for others it is the biggest mistake of their life. I wanted to join but could not for medical reasons.
Several of my friends are or have been in the military. For some it has been the best thing they ever did. For others it was a waste of time, still a very few it was a bad decision.
If your son at 22 doesn't want to join then he should not. Your husband needs to get a grip because he is going to drive your son farther away.
He also should not be yelling at you.
