Recently my father and I had a disagreement about my choice of staying in the military. He hates the idea that both my husband and I are planning on staying in the Army because he doesn't believe in the war and also because we have an 18 month old son. I told him that the military is the best way I can support my son for now and that I know the dangers that I can face by being in the military. Well, he completely blocked me out and threw me out of the house the day after Christmas. I was sooo angry because he ordered another family member to drive me to a hotel, but I told him I'd rather walk. So there I was trying to find a hotel, in the cold Winter, with my son in my arms. From that day on I haven't talked to anyone in my family, and nobody ever called to see if my son was doing ok. I'm guessing it's because they're all afraid of my father, and don't want to get in the middle. Should I forgive my family and leave things the way they are? I know if I try calling, he'll snap again.
