I have read through that and I highly doubt that with his age, his father falls in that "time period" covered by this law.....but maybe she will come back and explain........ |

Location: Somewhere between raising hell and Amazing Grace | Active/retired military with the post 911 GI bill can in fact transfer it to immediate family members, spouse or children. My husband is transferring his to me so that I can go back to school.
Now with a GI bill does come a housing allowance BUT I don't know if that part is transferrable.
Edited to add this is the post 911 gi bill, not the new ones, and there are requirements such as years in service etc.

Baiting an argument or trap with this young girl should be beneath all of us. She needs to work on getting some skills and confidence of her own, stand on her own two feet, and then figure out what life should look like for her.

Location: Bastrop, Texas | The wedding ring thread was something I just remembered. That was about a month ago. If I were financially strapped, that would be the last thing I'd buy. Even a cheap wedding ring can go a long ways in terms of expense. Just an observation. |

Location: Broxton, Ga | NJJ - 2014-01-10 10:03 PM HotbearLVR - 2014-01-11 8:55 PM Hold on a second. The guy lost his job and is going through some hard times. Clearly he's behaving like a control freak, and something is amiss, I agree, but seriously, is this the time to just throw in the towel and go straight to a divorce? There's a kid involved here. I don't see anything that says this marriage can't be salvaged....things like a simple ultimatum, couples counseling, even a trial separation. You can always divorce him, but it seems to me there could be a few less drastic steps that just might work. Maybe I'm missing something, but that's how I see it. 1. He didn't "lose" his job....he quit
2. He won't do counseling
3. He is in college
4. He has already told her once (that she admits to) to NOT come back home
5. Right now he is only a "control freak" ......should she wait until something more serious happens before jumping ship?
No........I "was" married to one...........stayed because of our daughter....13 years.....was not worth it......just my opinion when I hear men with issues like this.......they don't change unless they have a real come to Jesus change........ps........mine tried that too........but after 13 years of pure hell.......it was too late...... |

Location: Wonderful Wyoming | It's always the same people trying to dig at her. I have to wonder why? Does it matter how she lives her life in the grand scheme of things with most of you? I bet a lot of people on here make some stupid buying choices or buy something in the heat of the moment...and later realize that money could have better been spent elsewhere.
I've gotten to know her and she's not what you all are making her out to be. Why can anyone else come on here and complain about their abusive or drunken spouse or lazy worthless kids or WHATEVER and not get thrown to the wolves.
Come on people, find some poor prey somewhere else. There are plenty of trolls that frequent here, give them hell. |

I think most "trolls" eventually catch hell for things eventually. I don't think she is singled out for any particular reason, but here's how I see it. If someone comes on here and has a personal problem, or is sad, or whatever, most of the time people listen to what they are saying and either offer some help or consolation. When it starts to become a regular occurance and none of the crises are necessarily related, I think people begin to wonder. One week it's a new diamond ring. The next it's a fund for diapers. Another week it's a new trailer. Then there's an abusive spouse issue. Then there's a request for prayers for a toothache. After a while you begin to wonder how much of it is real, partially real, or just contrived. I don't know her personally, and I wish no ill will on here, but there comes a point when I think a person needs to be told to use a little common sense and judgement. This last crisis didn't pass the smell test. Like I was alluding to, one thing that stood out in this latest chapter was the child was barely even mentioned, yet if there is talk about divorce, the child is the only one in this scenario who stands the greatest chance of being seriously effected for life. The adults recover and move on....the kid, not so much. There comes a point when a person can sap all the good naturedness out of a board like this and it becomes a bit much. |

You got a "like" from me Doc. I honestly steer clear of the posts because I don't know fact from fiction on her posts. I also wish no ill will but I choose to bypass certain people threads. |

Location: Bastrop, Texas | I would hope that by pointing this out, this actaully does some real lasting good. This is a unique place, in my opinion. A lot of us have become real life personal friends on here. We share things and we give to one another. We fight and we make each other laugh. We have friends here from far away places like Brazil, Australia, and Italy, and yet we sometimes talk and share as if we were talking across a fence rather than a border or an ocean. This friendship we all share is at times fragile. Some people meet future spouses on here. Some people post their dying words on here. This place is a great place to share lighthearted humor, to help one another, and even to debate and quarrel. It's easy to sometimes take it for granted. We all could use a kick in the pants once in a while. Lord knows I've gotten my share. When people ask for prayers, I believe they actually get them.
When people want someone to listen to their problems and offer solutions, they get it. That is a pretty precious thing in this day and age. |
