[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 188097, member: 1514"] Susan... My son was 19 when he got married....barely. He had just entered the Marines, gone through boot camp, dumped his very first girlfriend at the alter after he caught her cheating on him, gone through more Marine training...and then gone to his duty station. That is when he found his first wife. He married her basically on the rebound. I knew it was a fiasco waiting to happen but other than looking at him askew and asking him one time if he was sure this was what he wanted to do...I kept my mouth shut. Not much over a year or so later he caught her IN HIS OWN BED with another Marine from his own battalion whom he had command over. At the time Jamie was a Lance Corporal and this boy was a private. What a slap in the face to my son. Later he found out she slept with others too. Oh you dont know how badly I wanted to hurt this girl. I wanted to lash out at her badly. My baby...MY BABY...was hurting badly. The Marines took my sons gun and sent him home on family leave. They were afraid of what he might do and I dont blame them. Actually though my son is more level headed than that. He came home and played some vile music and talked a bit but I really didnt say much to him other than that we would be behind him no matter what he decided to do. He made the decision to go talk to the lawyers and send her packing. We stood behind him all the way...but silently supporting him. We were there with hugs, kisses and "I love yous". I think the worst thing I said during that whole time was that I really hated that she did that to him and that I suspected because of some of her past behaviors that she probably was a difficult child. He said he thought so too. You really have to take this approach with grown kids. [/QUOTE]
