My X, my oldest D'D's father (the special forces guy)-- Really really did it this time! He has officially ruined his life. Got caught with drugs and pee'd positive. His life is RUINED. He is 33yrs old, will be court martialed and most likely serve time. Which I personally hope he does. He has lost all his benefits, etc etc.
This A hole is thinking of high tailing it out of the country if possible to join the French Foreigh Legion or some other army in another countrry where other criminals run. He is ruined for any future positions in the Goverment of the USA.
NOW the hard part. How do I explain this to my DD? We are going over in exactly 4 weeks and she can't wait for her to be in the States because she'll be closer to her dad (who is a hero in her eyes and he can't do anything wrong, because he is a special forces and takes care of the bad guys) and he promised to watch out for her and be their for her. Another lie and of course, now.... impossible.
When I talked to him last night, he showed no remorse. He had a pity me party and basically blames the MILITARY that his life and his career are worthless. NOT that he once remembers that he WANTED this job, he has gone back time and time again for this job and he doesn't want to do anything else but this job. Now, suddenly, it's the military's fault that they forced a gun in his hand.
So what am I going to do now with alex? She will be devasted. What is the best way for me to explain this and let her know her Dad won't be around and most likely he will take off as soon as he can without even saying good-bye? She's only 11.

That commment and the fact that she came and wanted to talk, made me feel, like I did the right thing.
Wow - you have such a special relationship with her. That is great the way you handled your talk - and yes - it is wonderful she would come to you for that.
How much longer until you move here?
Wow - that is going to go by way too fast!! Are you packed/ready?
Moving is so so hard!!
Yeah, the movers came on Tuesday and took everything. 53 boxes and it cost me 2,600 dollars per boat freight. YIKES.
I have spent over 12 thousand in the last 3 months! I don't even know where I have all that money coming from to pay what I've paid. I have about 4-5 thousand saved for two months of living. I hope I get a good paying job quickly. :(
That is not that many boxes for you and two kids!! I am sure you narrowed it down to the quick.
I think you will find something quick - it might not be the perfect job to start - but the economy is doing much better now, especially the real estate market type stuff - I think the low interest rate did that.
Keep us posted!!
