For your wall: I just wanted to say I went to see American Sniper today. I am a former Army Wife. I was married to my husband for 4 years and had two of the most beautiful and brilliant little girls you could imagine. My husband returned from his third deployment and my second daughter was conceived. She was delivered shortly before his 4th. By the time he returned again he was a new man. Not new in the good way. His eyes looked at me differently. They didnt care about my trivial bullshit. They didnt care that daycare was hectic that morning. They didnt notice that I had tried to look good for him that day. His eyes were in Iraq. Then they were in Afghanistan. Then they were in his soldiers lives... then they were divorced. I myself have been in the military for nearly 10 years now. And I FINALLY get it. I saw B****** C*****s eyes in that movie and I saw my ex-husband. Never had I seen it portrayed as such. Im trying to say two things. One, give your soldier (husband or wife) space when they get home. Help them heal. I was not a good wife in that aspect. And two.... learn to deal with these emotions yourself. I felt like I had to deal with my emotions in a two party system when much of what I was feeling was only for me. I needed to work through it alone. I am now a fully functional single mother who gets along great with her ex husband and his new beautiful NCO wife. We really make it work. There is life beyond divorce. Im now a medical officer and couldnt imagine my life any other way than the way it has turned out to be. I dont know if this is the page to vent that message to...but I feel like it could reach some folks. Thanks for keeping me entertained :)
