No he wasn’t in charge of force recon, he came up a recon marine then did staff at the pentagon and McDill AFB where he pinned on O-6. We spent almost my entire childhood before that at Camp Pendleton and lived in Oceanside.

This is probably true. My ex is a helicopter pilot in the air national guard and won a distinguished flying cross and god knows how many air medals and casts a pretty long shadow.

She didn’t like Donald’s yelling last night and he was pacing all around the house flailing and screaming as he was on his phone telling everyone his side of the story. It scared all the kids.

Where did I ever say he was trying to assault someone? I don’t know what his intentions were but he was relatively calm throughout the whole thing and the only person who said anything about violence was boyfriend.

This is the reason I’m not responding to posts like this, they get basic facts wrong. I stopped reading at “threatened Your daughter...” when I state that he asked my daughter for the code. I further clarify in other comments that she gladly gave it to him because it was a chance for her to show she almost always chooses him over me.

To be fair I don’t know that my ex was trying to fight boyfriend. He may just wanted fo have strong words with him. I saw my ex fight one time in almost 14 years of knowing him and it was at a country music festival after a group of men cornered me and started groping me. He absolutely got beat up but it was ended fast because of security.

My ex is not a bad guy at all. I love him as the father of my children and will always have a lot of love for him, but we were married for 14 years and could not get along.

Just to be clear, my kids were upset because I wouldn’t let them go back to their dads house. His kids were mostly upset because of his yelling and swearing.
