Michelle,
We don't have anyone on the Ft. McHenry, but when your sailor gets here Yvonne and I would love to invite him or her to participate in our weekend activities if they'd be interested. It would give them a chance to get away from the ship and veg in a real home.

Absolutely! In my life here, I meet a lot of military wives. I always thank them for their service and sacrifice, too, which sadly surprises most of them. Most civilians don't think about those wives' service. It's different than being a military mom--we raise our kids to be adults, to serve humanity in some way. We have to raise strong, independent kids, knowing we give them up. Marriage is a partnership, and it's hard unless you're prepared--and even worse when it's a military marriage. But when it works, it's SO GOOD!

Wow! Thanks. I agree, his ex lost out, but there's someone wonderful out there for him. I wrote to Lea on her page that we should connect Andy and George since he's at Little Creek. Andy has no idea we'll have the women lined up at his door when he gets to Great Lakes! I visited his new apartment in Zion yesterday. Great location out of the city, close to the train line to downtown Chicago and Milwaukee, plus an easy drive to Great Lakes Naval Base. His family will be visiting often!

Lea,
What an awesome attitude about your husband! Being committed to your husband and your marriage is a powerful thing. God bless you for it.
I can vouch for Ruth's son. He's a really nice guy, a good cook, and he even does the dishes! In my opinion, I think his ex really lost out! (How's that Ruth? And you didn't even have to pay me to say that :) Tee Hee...

I'm praying my son will finally find a woman like you! Got a sister? Who lives in the Chicago area? He'll be moving to Great Lakes for three years at the end of the month. He, too, is career.

LOL, he had the wife, then the girlfriends--one at a time! That's all I can take. ha ha

Married to the Military: A Survival Guide for Military Wives, Girlfriends, and Women in Uniform by Meredith Leyva. Despite the title, as a mom, I have found it very informative. I've purchased several as gifts for girlfriends of my son's. None of them remained girlfriends, and his wife divorced him saying that she found she couldn't be a Navy wife a year into Navy life. It really does take a strong, independent woman to support a military husband!

If the custody battle will be in Kansas, see if there's a legal aid office near you. They provide attorneys on a sliding scale for what you can afford. Doesn't guarantee you'll get one that's versed in child custody or the military though. If child protective services were/are involved you might get some help from them as far as advice. Two other things you can do--you don't have to join "Moms of Divorced Sailors" but do go read some of it and go find the book Married to the Military. It's got lots of practical information if you're going to marry a sailor. Being married to the military takes a special woman! Bless you if you're willing to take it on!
