This is so sureal. I am a wife of a wonderful husband whom
has
helped raise my kids since they were very little (they are
not
his biological). He did not have to suffer all the turmoil
a
teenager can put on you through the years but has done so
due
to the love that lies so deep. To get on with why I am
responding to your posting is that I came from a very
abusive
marriage before I met my current husband. I was very young
when I got with the curr hus and thought all men hit. No
affence but after a battle with the x I knew no better. In
any
event when my curr hus tried to leave during an argument
one
evening back in 1997. I stood in front of him pushing him
over
and over again telling him I would not stand for it. At
that
time he pushed me away from the door saying he was not
going
to fight with me. After he had been gone for about an
hour, I
left and went to my sisters house. She told me she had
heard
he was seen with another women prior to this evening. In
complete anger I called the police department wanting him
removed from our home. I met the police at my home where
my
curr hus was sound asleep. I dont recall but am sure I did
not
want him jailed as I know deep within that he never tried
to
hurt me and as a matter a fact he was trying to avoid a
physical altercation. The police arrested him anyway. We
got
over the thought of another women and have been happily
togather for about 10 years. He rejoined the Military just
after 9/11 and they swore him in even with this on his
record.
It has popped up before since my husband rejoined the
Military
but I still did not know the severety of the Lautenberg
Ammendment. We have kept hope alive. Last night my husband
shared an ugly truth that he did not want to share with
me. He
told me that about a month ago he was pulled into the JAG
office and was relieved of his Military duty due to the
Lautenberg Amendment. Back then I never apeared in court
because I knew it was not right. The State picked up all
charges. He plead guilty not knowing he may have a winning
chance. OK call me a liar but I was very young and
immature
but now my husband has to deal with it. And now it is like
he
is being convicted twice for a charge that he already paid
for
and one he is not even guilty of. And to think if the D.V.
charge had took place before the Ammendment, he would not
be
going through this. There are some real awful people out
there
that will never suffer this due to the fact that thier
conviction took place before 1996. I love him and feel so
guilty myself. Yes, you may not get to many wives admiting
to
stupidity but this is just not fair. I will try to get a
word
out to congress. Thank you for your encouraging messages.
