I was in kindergarten when that happened. I remember that when my mom explained what had happened, I got up and put my hand on the tv screen and was quiet.

I think that scared her. I was rarely quiet at that age. lol.

I hope to god my husband never gets this look. Seems unlikely on a sub, but still.

/worry.

She looks like she wasn't quite prepared for the picture, kinda. The pain and suffering she's seen or endured is barely shown by her eyes. Her eyes have a haunted look to them...but that's just the surface.

If she ever had children, I guarantee they were affected in some way by her time in a camp. Her grandchildren too were probably affected.

Anyway;

the photo of the wife spending the night next to her military (marines?) husband's casket kills me. I can't even look at flag-draped coffins, much less look at this one.

He has zero talent and sounds like a 6 year old girl.

I wish the music industry had more talent instead of vocalists who rely on autotune.

music. crafts of some kind (working on a quilt, or a friendship bracelet, something kind of mindless but keeps my hands busy). Reading. whining to my husband, lol.

sometimes a nap.

Sadly, that's how it is everywhere. I work in a government building that houses our food share program and unemployment program, as well as managed care for long-term disabled or the elderly.

The only way to make an appointment with most of those workers is by calling the one line the state has available for this sort of thing. Getting an appointment is near impossible.

I feel bad because these people obviously just want to talk to a human being instead of a recording, but I can't do anything about it. Fruuusssstrating.

I don't often want to vomit, but when I do it's from seeing this.

So much this. I made it a year at a Target. Then I needed antidepressants.

Never. Again.

You're welcome! Feel free to PM if you have other questions. :)

If you're good friends, I don't think so. If you feel weird, try gathering some photos of his family or other friends, or pets That way it's not like you're ONLY sending photos of yourself. I suppose you could even take a picture of his favorite place (ie, the lake if he loves fishing, a music store if he's into guitars/drums, so on). I sent my hubby a picture of his backyard, as we had spent so much time there before he left for basic.

I used to either send pictures of my nails each week or swipe the letter to my guy with the color(s) I used each time. Other people, if they saw, probably thought it was bizarre...it was just one of those "boring", everyday kinda things that I knew he was missing. We've even kind of continued it now that we text/skype/talk on the phone since he's in school. I ask him what color to paint my nails this week, and try to make his suggestion work. :)

He looks eerily similar to an ex boyfriend.

Not sure if gusta..?

I would suggest at least doing research on lawyers now...jails don't have google. Even if you choose not to hire one this exact moment; having that contact info on a scrap of paper in your wallet will help you in the long run if shit goes south.

Personally I think you ought to own up and face the jail time if that's what it comes to. You fucked up, you fucked up bad, and it's not just your wife that you should be concerned about.

STOP talking to Emily. stop. it won't help you to keep contacting her.

TELL your wife, NOW. Even if you get her ass out of bed and shove a cup of coffee down her throat to wake her up.

GET a lawyer; specifically a criminal defense lawyer. Maybe one that deals with sex crimes.

BE PREPARED for years in prison, registering as a sex offender when you get out (if you get out).

GOOD LUCK finding a job or being able to see or talk to your kids again. If I was your wife...fuck it, you wouldn't even be allowed in the house the minute you were done explaining it. I wouldn't want my kids anywhere near someone like you.

iAmFkKnEpIkK · 3 days

sent you a request. Name's the same as my email. :)

You're someone who gave up their time, family, whatever else, to serve their country. While I may not agree with the country's decisions, I certainly support those who are willing to defend it.

iAmFkKnEpIkK · 3 days

yep. I think in six years of facebook I've mastered it.

Until they change it all again. Sigh.

iAmFkKnEpIkK · 3 days

You're quite welcome. Long story short, I work in a building that houses a few VA reps...I've come to really enjoy my interaction with the vets, even if they're struggling through a rough patch. I enjoy helping others in whatever ways I can.

you can email me if you want. If you wanna FB instead, I'll have to search for you. I am SUPER SEKRIT on the facebook. :P

(Edited to take email out...if anyone wants it so they have someone to talk to, pm me. Just don't want it all over the internets)

iAmFkKnEpIkK · 3 days

I'm not in the military, I've never been overseas, and I've never seen half the things I imagine you've seen...but I am a set of ears (or..uh, a text box??) who is willing to listen.

PM me anytime; we can PM or email or facebook or whatever it is you want.

My mom tried to give me and my brother names that couldn't be shortened into nicknames.

Failed miserably, I dislike my name, so I shortened it (although not legally). She is so disappoint every time...but my legal first name is not really suited to my personality. The nickname is.

She looks like she just realized she pooped herself.

Most of the letters to my (now) hubby in basic were at least two pages. I also sent along funny webcomics I'd printed out, pictures of stuff going on at "home" (mostly of me, but a few of him and his siblings I knew he liked), jokes I heard, and a summary of new episodes of the webshow we watch.

Ask your friend if there's anyone who ISN'T getting mail, and make an effort to send them something too--goofy little 99 cent cards, pictures you color, whatever. They'll be glad to get mail, even if it's from a stranger. I did that with one of my hubby's bunkmates, and now said Sailor is one of my "adopted" brothers. All I did was send My Little Pony comics! :P

Just remember nothing glittery and nothing musical. NO care packages. you don't want to single out your friend (or other pen-pals) by sending stuff like that. Bad news bears.

Dunno what kinda public bathrooms you guys go in, but the ones I've used have always been shit-free. o.O
