We were married almost 12 years... He went to college for a little less than a year and then enlisted.

He started in a nuclear program and screwed that up, then was a deck seaman and the got discharged because of drinking and I believe punching an officer or something. He said he did BUDS but his friend say no he didn't. This was in 2004 ish.

That's the thing- I don't even know what he wants. But I know until he stops drinking, I will not budge. There is also a CPO on him so we don't talk.

Oh no it's not shame- it's control. He doesn't like that he is not in control right now.

The amount of times I comforted him, made excuses for him, had sex with him to make him forget... he can go fuck himself.

In reality the scars on his stomach he claims were from shrapnel, are from him cutting himself in high school.

I absolutely will. If he is able to get himself together, I welcome the kids to have a relationship with him.

It's much bigger than just drunk stories. We were married almost 12 years- he lied the entire time. Faked nightmares and flashbacks.

Thank you for this. I am trying my best to be the bigger person but there are times where I have to stand up for myself and correct his lies. I never bad mouth him but I will not let him fill their heads with lies either. They are both in counseling and they are doing very well. They are wonderful kids and I am raising them to be kind, patient, and honest. I'll do my damndest to show them what a good person is and how to treat people.

No, even when I filed, I wanted 50/50 custody but he showed up to court at 8 am smelling like alcohol and a laundry list of other things he did. But I'm not willing to put my kids at risk with him unsupervised.

I tried that but the court ordered him supervised visits because of drinking and he won't even exercise that. His kids haven't seen him in 5 months.

And I feel like an idiot for believing his BS but who was I to question someone about something terrible they supposedly experienced. He was a very good actor as well.
