Please don't think all military families are like this. I was in the military and my husband still is. Between us we have dealt with the military for 14 yrs each and have been married for 11 yrs. He recently served two tours in Iraq. While he has issues to work out, so do I. We are both currently in treatment separately. We love each other and regardless of our experiences there has never been any abuse. Each person brings their own problems and issues into a marriage and military life can be difficult and stressful. However there are a large portion of military families who are happy and successful and there is no abuse. Please be careful in thinking that this is an epidemic in military families.
