So my fiance was due to graduate 2/26/16. I drove too IL, and was at Sarge's meet and greet when he called me. He tore his calf muscle causing damage, meaning not graduating. As his fiancee he couldn't call me. His parents had apparently known for a week he was not graduating and didn't say anything. I tried not being mad, but then I found out his parents blocked me on all social media as well as his accounts. He just called me today for less than 5 minutes, letting me know due too more damage than expected he may be at basic until July. He went in on January 5th. I'm not sure what to do anymore!

That is really shitty of his parents to do that. I am very sorry that has happen to you. But karma always has a way
Wow I'm so sorry that happened to your fiancée. I told my husband about it and he said unfortunately until he's fully healed they will keep him there and he has to pass a physical test again and his PRTs. At that point they'll decide if they still want him to stay or not which if he's able to perform like he did before then he'll most likely be fine. Just try to keep encouraging him to get through it whenever he calls you and that you're here waiting for him. Wtf is up with his parents though? Did you ask him why they did that? Did something else happen between you guys? That seems so strange that they would be so hateful like that out of the blue.
That has to be really hard not to be able to have a relationship with his parents. I think working together with my fiances parents is really a big part of how I am personally getting through all of this. Maybe he has to have a talk with his parents to explain that it is really important for communication between everyone when it comes to the military life. Best of luck to you.
His parents haven't liked me since we got together. But they told him when he left that they invited me over several times and I turned then down. (never got any such invites). But today he said he found out they aren't talking to ANY ONE. including his family, WHICH explains why his family (that hated me when he left) has been messaging me.
