Hi, I'm new here. I could really use some help though. This is a long story but I will try and make it as short as I can. Please bear with me.
My husband had inlisted into the Army shortly after 9/11. He felt it was his American duty to fight for our country. I had never been prouder of him. He left me and our daughter and headed off to boot camp. Things were great. We cherished the time we had on the phone and the letters we received. My daughter and I went down to graduation. He was so happy to see us and talked a mile a minute about the plans he had for our future and wanted to know what I thought. Again I couldn't have been prouder. Then it was off to combat training. Within two weeks he was injured. After 5 months of waiting and wondering... they told him the bad news. He was to be medically discharged. 2 months later he came home. We didn't have a place to live and he had no job. I was a stay at home mom. We finally found a place we could aford, problem was jobs were slim picking. He hated his job where we were so we up and moved. I thought he would be happier where we are now. Closer to family and friends. He is not the same man I married and hasn't been since he got back from training. I don't know what to do. I thought as soon as we got moved back near our family and friends he would be back to normal so to speak. It hasn't happened. I try to talk to him about it. I know he is unhappy. He has told me as much but he doesn't know why. He doesn't seem interested in me or our daughter. If some one has any helpful ideas I would love to read them. I'm afraid that if this doesn't get taken care of soon it may end for good.
