Hi Everyone,
Im Trish, Donna1's girlfriend. Apologize it has taken me a bit to get on the site. First had to get registered and awaited approval then last night ended up in the emergency room myself as a patient!!! UGH, what a night. And by my side through it all was Donna1, My Soul Mate for life. Thank you for making him feel welcome in this confusing time for him. Donna 1 is my True Soul Mate and the man I am so in love with, so anything I can do to help him and make life less stressful for him is what I am aiming for. So any education or info you can teach me about helping him would be great. I would love to hear from other wives/girlfriends as well. I do truly feel in Donna1 case, that this desire comes from family and deployment trauma that he has suffered and had to push his feelings and emotions aside during these times to make decisions, making him feel he has to repress things. I know I am not a military veteran, but I was a military dependent. both with my father who was in the Air Force for 28 years, my ex who was in for 21 years, and with Donna 1 who was in for 22 years. So I have the view from a dependent stand point and I can truly say that those who serve in our military are to be honored for your sacrafices and hard work and dedication to our country and freedom. I am SO PROUD OF ALL OF YA'LL. It is through my life as a military dependent and through my relationship with Donna1 that had given me the insight or epiphany into what I want to do in my career.....I am going back to school to major in Psychology to become a councilor for military and Family. This group is men and women is what I feel strongly about because there is so much many of you go through in your military careers that you never have an outlet to be able to express to or for someone to be there for you to help you. I am so thankful you all have taken Donna1 under your "wing" and helped him when he needed it and when we did not know where to go to for information. I love the fact that ya'll have become a close family of friends and this makes my heart warm as I want the best for Donna1. I will always encourage this friendship from ya'll for him. Thank you for everything you have helped with. Donna1 is the best thing that has come into my life and I love him with all my being. Thank you for letting me be a part of this group. God Bless and everyone have a wonderful night... Trish
