My husband went to Iraq for the 5th time came back someone very very different ( i still believe that he's still in Iraq and someone else is in his body) I have to get a divorce because of everything he's done to our family but whats even worse is he abandoned us in Utah after being section 8 out even after he spent over 6 month's @ Fort Bliss Mental Hosp. and he's really gone off the deep end and I am so afraid that i'm NOT strong enough to handle this and I feel like life as I have know it is so over....Anyone had this happen to them that can give me advise and a ear and a shoulder. I am so lost and no family or friends to help and the military refuses to help after he's been booted out of the army. Thanks

Sorry your going through this hun. It's awful what changes occur after "our guys" come back from the environments and situations they are put into.
It's much worse and more difficult to figure out what to do when you feel that their actions/words...are not them.
I would stay in as long as you can and support and encourage hime to seek help, but if it becomes dangerous for you....get out of that situation.

Seeing as HE abandoned his family, you would have to ask him that.
To the original poster, if your husband is in anyway a danger to you, you need to get out.
Nowhere in your vows does it say that you have to stay with a man who abandons you or hurts you.

chryssy,
First of all, my deepest sympathies for you. Second, life is not over. It has only changed. Thats not your fault. Next, you need to find support from any friends, family, neighbors, religious groups, county and state agencies, etc. Try www.iraqwarveterans.org this website might be able to direct you to another organization that fits your situation. This organization also offers some assistance. You can do this. It sounds like you also have children. You can do this for them. Stay strong and you will make it out of this.
