My ex and I are not totally seeing eye to eye on a subject so I am going to see what the board thinks, since there are obviously so many wise people on here ! :)
The first Deployment that he went through, granted we were married and only had our son. The way the Family Support Program was so involved they helped me and my son through getting through a year without his dad home! He is now looking at the possibility of going again and he doesn't understand why I would be involved in any of the activities that they do during the deployment. I tried to explain all the great things they did in the past, for the family members, he just doesn't see the point. I just want to help my children have a positive experience and possibly make new friends. So I guess my question is this....Do I get involved regardless of if he ever sees the benefits that his children main gain, or do I just back off as per her request? I know military life is a different world...so I guess I wonder which of the two would ultimately have worse consequences!

Being a former military wife myself I know how things go with having a baby while married to a military guy or having a baby with a military guy before marriage. I have a little different situation this time though. I am due in June and engaged to a wonderful man. Due to money problems that he is working out, he has not been able to finalize his divorce yet but will be real real soon (like hopefully within the next month or so). I got pregnant before we started "talking" and then dating (knew him through a friend before hand though and then moved into his place when the friend I was living with got evicted). The baby's bio dad is a good friend of his from his childhood. They are very very close and see each other as family/brothers. The bio dad has voiced his opinion on wishing for my fiancee to adopt the baby with the knowledge that he feels that he wouldnt be able to be the father figure that the baby deserves but wishes to still be in the baby's life in some form. With this being said, my fiancee wishes to adopt my son and if possible just be put down as the father on his birth certificate. Our only question at this point is would his name on the birth certificate be enough for him to clam him as a dependent with the military or would he have to do it another way for the military to accept it since we are not married and the child is not biologically his (something that the military wont know unless a paternity test is requested). Any advice on our best options with this would be great. ]]> Military Single Parents mamabear87 http://www.singlefamilyvoices.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15302 http://www.singlefamilyvoices.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15206&goto=newpost Mon, 15 Feb 2010 22:51:44 GMT i am so happy i found this website. it was so random! please single army mommies hit me up PLEASE! god i wanna know how life in the army is treating... i am so happy i found this website. it was so random! please single army mommies hit me up PLEASE! god i wanna know how life in the army is treating you? how is your companies with family care plans? do they use it just for field or deployment or do they use it when your children are sick too?

I am old school very, and use to the man calling or stopping by when he wants to talk you or stop you out somewhere if he wants the number. lately, i the men i meet do not use the telephone and do this ride by thing in different vehicles, but never stop. or they will throw something up against my house at night if i open the door the ride by. the way i interpet this it is a game and i do not understand. since i am at the age of way past games this is quite annoying for me. if i do see them out and approach they pretend they are someone else. Am i right in believing they are not sincere or am i unapproachable? do men not date anymore? ]]> Military Single Parents witsend http://www.singlefamilyvoices.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14762
