Description

I need your opinion. It has nothing to do with any of my fractals. As you all know my son is presently in Iraq. Up until 2 weeks ago he couldn't wait to come home. Well that has changed, you see he broke up with his girlfriend after he went back from his 2 weeks here at home. I don't know why but I do know he is pissed. Now his replacements are starting to arrive and he asked us what we thought about him staying there until next July with them. I know the final decision is up to him but I think he want's to because of the breakup with his girlfriend. I'm not ready for him to stay there. We want him home. What do you think we should tell him next time we talk to him? My head is spinning about this, just need some input. Thanks for me let out some of my feelings.

Being far away in the forces and working under such dangerous conditions he is not thinking as he would at home where he would have some control over the situation. The thing is, he is with his brother comrades, his mates,and they will have rallied round with a safety net. These break ups are sometimes inevitable, sad to say. The pressure is so great. Ask him to have another think about it. Is there no way the break up can be reversed? Sorry I can't give you the answer he will respond with although I try to understand the worries you have as parents. They break your arms when they are little and your heart when they grow up. We are all here for you, you know.

What they said...tell him you want him home and you would feel awful if he decided to stay longer.

I know it's hard, but he has to live his life! breaking wioth the girlfriend has been too hurting, and he needs time in an environment is more used to than civil life. I'm sorry if this hurts you, but it's better than having him angry and frustrated at home.

You might ask him if running away from his duties at home are worth staying in Iraq. Would he make the same decision if his girlfriend was in the service and his tour was up? Would he stay there or come home? If he says come home, he's running away from his feelings and reality. Time to face up and deal with it. Running away won't cure the problem. No matter what we want our children to do. Hugs my friend. I don't envy your position.
