Well, I'm divorcing. And have been 'single' for about four years now. She's in Virginia, and I'm on the west coast. I'll be legally single in another month.

I would say that you fit the criteria.

Were you "single" while married?

Ie; all the responsibilities and none of the benefits

Nah, I stated it that way because although I left her behind, we were still legally married.

Haha

Well..

I see.

Eeesh

Where to even start with that one

How much of your shot is she getting

Probably none

None, but she did run up a bunch of debt on my credit lines while I was in rehab.

That sucks

About 13k worth of debt

But nothing more from the actual divorce

She should get half of that

^

I've already paid most of it off tbh. I left with a ton of guilt. We got together like almost as soon as I came back stateside.

I know that feeling

The guilt was from all the drinking. I started drinking after Iraq, and just kept right on with it after I got out.

Was up to about a liter of vodka/day at my worst

PTSD?

I still held down a job and made academic honors in school

Yeah, and some other stuff

The military is still the worlds leading producer of functioning alcoholics

But yeah, I felt guilty so I just paid off the debt.

Haha, yup

Been sober for nearly four years now.

I don't miss it

Good for you

Thanks :D

I come from a long line of criminals and addicts.

Dont we all?

It seems that way sometimes, especially once one can spot the disfunction. I meet alcoholics all the time, who haven't even realized yet that the hook is set. C'est la vie.

What did you do in the God-emperor's army?

I was communications

Comms guy huh

When I joined, the mos designation was 31u, but was changed to 25u after a couple years in
