 Need advice bad! (military)
What is the name of your state? Georgia
My family and I have been trying to get out of the service for 18 months now. I have had two chapter 5-13's fail. The last year has been particularly bad. After my first chapter failed I was given the option to stop the next one and live off post with my family. I weighed out my choices of waiting six months for another failure or help my wife with her pregnancy. Of course I chose to help my family. So the second chapter didn't exactly fail. Anyway my chapter was for my personality disorder. I can't handle big crouds in small places, or even just a lot of noise and movement. So the barracks drive me insane, at first it starts with panic, anxiety, and depression. Then I move onto thoughts of suicide and schizophrenic episodes. After my wifes very hard pregnancy, because she wasn't supposed to be able to bear children. My son had to have open heart surgery at three months old. He had a stroke during surgery and we almost lost him several times. The stroke caused brain damage that paralyzed his left side. Thankfully because he was so young his brain in a sense rewired and he got all his movement back. During my sons hospitalizaion in his recovery stage my little cousin got shot and killed by my uncle the first day of hunting season. I made a bad choice and decided to smoke marijuana to help ease the pain. I smoked for about two months on and off. I failed a urynalisis on january forth but the results didn't come back until february 25th. So of course I had thought I passed it. I actually stopped smoking early febuary but they gave me another test febuary 27th. Which the results came back another month later. To sum this up I messed up but my family is paying for it more than me. My wife is bipolar and having a very hard time coping with me being back in the barracks. I am having my issues full blown with the barracks. Do to my second charge they have stopped my chapter work for misconduct. My first punishment is done and over wiith but now I face whatever there gonna do with the second charge. Meanwhile my wife and I have both already been hospitalized once during this at seperate times thank goodness for the babies sake. We don't know how much longer we can hold on. I am really considering going AWOL to get her set up in Florida around family so she has support. Then facing my jail time or whatever they do to me. But at the same time she can't handle being away from me and I don't know what I would do without seeing my son everyday for dinner to keep me kicking. Its easy enough to say I have to be fine for my family but when my mind flips I can't hardly think for myself at all.What is the name of your state? |
