The Military and the war are hard on people. My son went to dessert storm, he was married living on base with wife and son in Germany when he was shipped over, she came home to the states a lot with baby, but would go out with friends and leave baby with me. When he came back he was then shipped to Bosnia,she came home back and forth. When he was back from Bosnia, she talked into not re in listing, they came home he got a job as a police man. About 8 months back she decided she did not want to be married anymore and left him, he took custody of son. It was Hard on him and the one still paying for it is my grandson who is the greatest kid. As I said military life is hard on all.

Diane, all the ups and downs are so hard. I just pray she gets through this. That is shallow and stupid. To yank her around like this is not good. I hope she has some good friends she can talk to during all this. Will she come home while he's gone? That might do her some good. Give her a breather.
Hugs, Kris

Such a difficult situation. I'll certainly be praying for the both of them. PTSD makes everything difficult. My husband and I both suffer from war-related PTSD. Hopefully he will see that he needs help and will ask for it.

I am so sorry Diane. Your daughter must be so hurt and confused. Shannon and her husband are in my prayers for healing and restoration. I am praying for you as well.

Update: DD and SIL are trying to work it out. He has left for three weeks for some training. She is still having problems regulating her blood sugar and no doctors seem to be helping her. I think she is insolin intolerant. Drops really low and then really high-no middle ground. I am worried when she is alone. I do hope he gets some counseling for his post traumatic stress disorder. I think it is really messing him up right now. I am going down for a week in October to see them. Thanks for all your prayers and encouragment.

Diane, I am glad they are working on their marriage. But it does sound like the guy needs counseling. Doesn't the military provide that? And I hope your DD can get the medical help she needs. That doesn't sound good at all with her blood sugar flip flopping like that. My hubby sometimes has a hard time with his.

It is hard for this kind of thing to happen but all will work out for her best it just takes time and even alot of pain at times.  I know others who have been where she is and they ended up much better. Your daughter could also use some outside help. Even the base bosses can help with this matter. Lilly

Flash forward to today. My DD, Shannon is driving home from SC as I type this. Last night he said he is not interested in being married anymore. She is heart-broken...again. I am proud of him for serving 3 tours in Iraq, but he has some issues and needs help that he won't get. He is mad that she doesn't want him to drink. He has problems when he drinks, he tries to pick fights and turns into Mr. Hyde. He blames everything on her. He wants to deploy to Afganistan when he does not have to. I think he needs the excitement and adrenaline rush of combat. Almost like he is addicted to it. Please keep Shannon in your prayers. At least she is coming home.

Diane, I always think that God protects us for our own good. This war has taken it's tole on young people who are in the midst of battle and could die at any moment. It has torn apart many families. HE...at this time is not the man that she married, only one on the outside. Until he is ready to really deal with his problem, it is best that Shannon be removed. May God keep her in His right palm and her husband in His left until these problems are ironed out. Diane, I think alcohol numbs the pain and anxieties he may have and Shannon does not need to take the brunt of his drinking. Maybe her sugars will calm down when she is safe with you and not quite so anxious. Stress plays havoc with diabetes. Bless you all.

Sorry to hear this but she needs to do what she is doing. Abuse in any form numbs the soul and she is to young and beautiful to be destroyed. Praying for Gods blessings and comfort. It's not easy but God will work this out for her.
Be Blessed,

I'm so sorry, Diane. I feel so bad for Shannon. It's so obvious he needs help - this really does sound like post traumatic stress. Was she ever able to speak with his C.O.? I am sure she probably doesn't want to do that, fearing it will cause even more strife between them. And yet, I'm sure she wants to fight to save him from himself as well as their marriage. I'm also not so sure someone in his frame of mind should be going back for another tour. She must be suffering so deeply over this. I can't even imagine what she is going through, bless her heart. She's just so blessed that you're her wonderful mother, protecting her heart and surrounding her with your love. She truly needs you even more than she needs him right now. God bless you all. I'll keep praying. Hugs - Nini

Diane, Shannon is in my prayers. This is a very sad time for her and understanding is the worse. Pray she has a safe trip back with her family. She'll be where she needs to be for right now. SIL is in a difficult place in his life right now, betweent the service(which we are all grateful for) and his wife. And it sounds that he has made his choice. She needs to be where she can feel the love and reclaim her confidence in herself. With a loving mom like you are, she will survive this. But in the mean time, ours prayers are coming her way. Hugs and prayers,Brenda

She arrived at 1:00 am. She is very confused, sad and wanted to turn back and go home to her Husband last night. I understand that it is her home for the last 4 1/2 years. I think she needs a little break and spend some time with her Momma and family. I am just going to listen and hug for now.
