OK friends bear with me while I vent.

I usually don't ask much in the way of prayers and assistance, because I always felt there were others in much more need of them than I am. However something happened this past weekend whereby ether I'm going to need them or someone else is going to need them when I get my hands on him.

Some of you know that my oldest daughter who is in the Navy had been in Iraq. Well she just got back last Friday morning, and it was less then twenty four hours later that her former Marine husband got drunk and beat her up. She called me early Saturday morning after he fell asleep, and cried over the phone while telling me what had transpired. Without going into any details it amounts to nothing more then a very immature young man who feels threatened that his wife is the bread winner.

Her unit has expedited her leave, and has helped to get her a restraining order against him. I have to drive down to Cherry Point NC this weekend and pick her up. I am really afraid of what I may say or do if I cross paths with this mental midget when I get there.

Please pray that I keep a cool head.

    She needs to leave him and find someone else if that's what she wants in life.

    The first time a 'man' slugs a woman he ain't no man nomo.

    ... and one he 'gets away with it' the first time it'll never get better - probably
    worse - probably/eventually much worse. Your daughter is your
    main concern. Period.[V]

    Don't do anything emotional that would get you arrested and/or prosecuted and convicted. This slug is not worth it.

    If that were to happen, your daughter would be without you in her life and right now she needs her dad beside her.

    Prayers go with you. Keep a cool, level head and get her out of there.

    He'll no doubt get his due soon enough when he either picks on the wrong guy or pickles his liver into submission.

    Just one more reason that I despise the system we laughingly call "Justice" today.

    By7 all rights...that piece of shi* ought to be taught the meaning of "You do not beat on women"...directly, suddenly, and with interest.

    Do so...and you will spend far more time in prison then that piece of crap will spend talking to the police...

    Wife beaters are usually cowards when confronted by another man,..so I doubt it will be hard to keep a cool head. My bet is he is polite and apologetic in your presence. Now, if you were to be at the police station with your daughter filing a domestic abuse complaint at the same time that he was acosted by a group of unknown males,...........

    Former "Marine" husband, read that as unemployed

    In a nut shell that is what it is. During a five year hitch in the Marine Coprs he was in Iraq three times. He was a tanker, and there isn't much need for one of them on the out side. He has been unemployed for the last year and 1/2. My daughter is a Navy Corpsman attached to a Marine Flight Wing at Cherry Point. Her unit just returned after spending seven months in Iraq. Her husband got drunk and started yelling at her for having sat behind a desk during that time frame, while he served all his time in a combat environment. He kept telling her she wasn't a real Marine even though they make her wear a Marine uniform. It's my feeling that he isn't much of one ether if he get's so wrapped up around the axel over such petty things. He should be glad she wasn't serving in a combat environment. As it was she was in a supporting role doing casulty extractions. Unless he is drunk when I get there he won't face up to me. I won't start anything. He only fights women.[:(!]

    ur son in law sounds like a P.O.S.

    get the restraining order . explain to your daughter how when he sobers up he'll be by to make up . then when he does call the police .after this happens several times he'll be in the slam and it will get increaseingly difficult and expensive for the POS to bother her . also remind her he will never change his ways !!

    god bless ,good luck .

    Trinity,

    I'll pray hard for you because I don't think I could control myself in your position. You do what ever you have to to get your daughter safe and what ever else you have to to get the scum sucking husband behind bars.

    Give me a minute to get over the anger and I'll send up some prayers.

    Sounds like a b**ch's excuse to me. He can cry me a river. There ain't much of a demand for civilian mortar crewmen either, but I landed a job back home after just a couple weeks.

    If the job market is so bad where he is, he should cash in on his GI bill and park his worthless * at the local community college or university.

    You know what you "have" to do,
    which is different from what you "should/want" to do.

    You "have" to be there for your daughter.
    You "should" beat him to a bloody pulp.

    A fly off the handle hothead, your not.
    Even though you have one of the best reasons to be one.
    I have confidence that you will do the right thing.

    It's time for her to make this former marine, a former husband.

    Your daughter's a Navy Corpsman? Some of her Marine friends need to hear about your son-in-law. Most Marines I've met have been very protective of their corpsmen.

    I ain't praying for any such thing.Anyone lays a hand on one of my daughters he will suffer the full and unrepentent wrath of her father. Women can be trying on a man and so can kids sometimes, but a man never ever resorts to hitting them.I don't care what his malfunction is or was or if he needs his mommy to console his broke *. She is out there earning a living for the two of them, serving her country at war I might also add, while he nurses his hurt feelings with alcohol. Then has the nerve to hit her? I am sorry, but you guys and I are from different planets if this goes without a severe whomping to within a hairs breadth of loosing his life. Not only would I hit him repeatedly, I would stomp on his face til the plastic surgeons would need a photo to decide how to put it back together.You guys take this forgiveness crap too far soemtimes.

    You have my prayers.

    As the husband of a wife whose first husband beat her, as the son of a mother whose first husband beat her, and as a friend to women who have been beaten by boyfriends and husbands, if I lived closer to you, I'd volunteer to come along and extract a pound or three of flesh from your son-in-law.

    I've met a couple of Marines in my life, and I've met a few Navy Corpsmen, too. All of the Marines I've talked to have agreed on one thing: Corpsmen are just as much Marines, through default (i.e. being assigned to a Marine unit), as the Marines are.

    I hope everything works out for your daughter, and I hope he sits in jail.

    Any man who so much as layed a finger on one of my daughters would be lucky to get away with just a jail sentence for battery. Your daughter needs to be out and away from that guy and a divorce is the order of the day because these things only get worse as time goes along. A man who would strike a woman is not much of a man in my opinion and that is one Marine who really understands the meaning of the word maniacal!

    Get your daughter out there.

    Get a restraining order.

    Don't waste your time with talking or listening.

    If he has not figured it out by now he never will. Let him swill in his own personal hell.

    If she wants to go back to him, get her head examined well you are at it.

    I drove from ND to NM one time to "talk" to my cousins husband who use to punch her around. He did it no more, but I was lucky the drive cooled me down before I got there or I would have been doing time.

    Get her out of there, get the restraining order implemented, get the divorce filed. Your daughter needs you to take care of her much more than she needs the jerk smacked around.

    Don't touch the guy. You'd be the obvious suspect. Just make sure her Marine buddies know what happened. The proper counseling will occur as surely as night follows day and when he wakes up in the ER, he will have a new perspective.

    Unfortunely the laws of today prevent you from being a man anymore that being said do this--get him to pop you in public in front of witnesses by quietly saying something you know will pee him off and do not hit him back no matter how hard it is not to do. (step 2) get him arrested and put in jail. (step 3) sue the crap out of him even if he does not have a pot to pee in and that will follow him forever when you win the case. This way he will never have anything for the rest of his life and if he screws up again he will be a second offender!

    I think just the fact that you're here and talking about it shows that you're able to cope. Can't say I'll send prayers but I'll keep my fingers crossed.

    Also sounds good the wheels are in motion since the Navy's been notified and is helping her with the R.O.

    Every time I hear one of these stories, I remember what Mom told Sis all them years ago: "A man may be stronger than you and be able to cheat on you or beat on you, but he's gotta go to sleep some time."

    She told us once about "a friend" whose husband beat her, but we all knew it was her & her first husband she was talking about. He was quite the cad and cheated openly, but she was willing to keep up the marriage charade for the sake of the kids, until the first beating. The next time he came home drunk and passed out, she got some rope and tied him hand & foot to the bed. Then went and got a fireplace poker...

    And she complained that he never showed his face again to check on the kids!
