Re: I just need to talk to someone
SOmetimes when a woman marries a soldier she knows he has combat boots as footwear but expects them under the bed more often. This isn't something just to men and women in the service, it is the same with truck drivers that have one of the highest divorce rates of any profession. Sometimes it is tough on those you leave behind too. They want you to hold them because they are loney and you can't so they blame you because of your job. What you are doing is noble, but for her she might be able to feel the pride but it doesn't give her the physical comfort.
Do yourself a favor and kick the alcohol before it ruins you. Write, take a hobby, exorcise anything for yourself and something so instead of numbing yourself you think clearly.
My fathers first marriage ended when he can back from Nam and found his wife six months pregnant. When he met my mother in the military he knew she'd understand better but left after 16 years because my mother an E8 out after 10 just couldn't have the family split up any longer.
I will always be on here as much as I can to listen or offer words.
Best regards.
