Well almost down to the end here and so many mixed emotions. So excited to see my son, but kinda nervous because his fiance has shown her true colors. She's deleted the entire family from her facebook friends list, took down her "engaged to" status and has stopped talking to all of us. Not sure how to handle it with him because I'm pretty sure she's gonna leave it up to us to tell him from the looks of things. Hoping and praying she doesn't write a letter to tell him because she was told beforehand not to do anything like that because of everything he already goes through in boot camp.
On the other hand i'm sooooooooo excited to finally see my son again. It's been so strange not to have him here for the past 7 weeks, every time something funny happens one of us still gets ready to text or call him to tell him as if he's just out with friends and actually has his cell phone lol ya think we would have gotten used to that huh? oh well, I hear they can take cells to A school so that'll make that part of this whole thing so much easier. My mom and two of my sisters are coming out to see him too so he should love that! Think that's pretty much everything I'm thinking of today. Hope everyone has a great day and can't wait to meet everyone next week!!!

My son had a similar thing happen to him, except I took her to boot camp graduation and she dumped him two weeks later over the phone.  He will be stronger and will be able to handle it, even though it will be hard at first. I am so sorry that these kids have things like this happen, but like the Mom above said, "Better now, than after the wedding."  I hope your experience at graduation is wonderful.  Ours was in May and he will look so good to you.  Blessings to your family!

My heart hurts for your son. How long have they been together?  I pray for your son and family that she holds off from writing him a "Dear John" letter before BS. Our SR's are doing BS together as sister Divisions, 273 & 274.  And Denise Nuke EM Mom is right, at least it happened before the wedding. Was she suppose to go to the Graduation?

My son was not expecting to have a girlfriend when he left for boot camp but a month before leaving he met a girl that he is madly in love with and she with him. He ended up giving her a promise ring and asked her to wait for him and everything looks rosy now but its a long wait and i don't want them to do anything stupid and rush into anything.

We have to give a few bits of bad news too at Graduation. One is that a friend passed away. I don't want to tell him on the "I'm a Sailor" call because that should be a joyous time but i think they can go on Facebook that same day and he'll see it then. I'm not sure if Facebook is accessible to them for sure, although my son told us that on his last call home.

Yeah we're trying not to say anything at all about her even tho he keeps asking in letter. Got home from church last Sunday, went on to check my facebook and found she'd unfriended our entire family and had taken down her "engaged to..." status so that spoke volumes to us! In the beginning we were planning on bringing her with us but three days after he left the engagement ring came off and hasnt gone back on since so we pretty much know where her loyalties lie and they are not with our son. So we've been praying for wisdom and strength to help him pick up the pieces when this is through,

I feel sooo sorry for your son.  What should be one of the happiest moments in his life will be hampered with her drama.  As a mother we want to protect our children from anything that may hurt them.  I don't think that changes no matter how old they are.  I think you are doing everything correctly....keep up the support and he will get through this!!  Better now than later.

Well unfortunately he knows everything now, he got a call home today and kept pushing with questions about her so we ended up having to tell him, there's only so much you can hedge before its just obvious something's really wrong. Thankfully it was Dad who told him so he took it pretty well, he sounds more angry than hurt. Is still so excited for this weekend and to see the family so am very very thankful for that!!
