We had no health insurance and were two months behind in bills. I feel punished all the time for trying to give my family a once in a lifetime boost. Yes it's been a great sacrifice for both (it's very dangerous and conditions unlike anything you can imagine) but I thought we could sacrifice now to gain a small edge in these hard financial times. Plus we ahve a12 year old daughter.

There's no words that i could tell you if its unfair or not, but like what our military personal,they had to do what needs to be done for the country of ours. Yours is a bit similar,your thinking about your family survival,esp for the kid. the separation will be very hard,but thing must be done so your family will survive and most of all catch up on the bills that's been over due.
I have a few marine friends that went to Iraq and Baghdad,but unfortunately 4 of them died for their country,for no reason at all,they were taken away from their own family. And still the rest of my friends continued their job. God will guide and protect you if your the one that will sacrifice for the sake of your family,...just be very careful and be safe...

The jobs in Iraq pay very well indeed! After 2 years of working there some never really have to work again as in the instance of military retirees.
On the other hand, a child only grows up once! One chance to see that. And even though the media totally distorts the real picture of whats happening over there, it's still not a safe place to live.
If I wasn't in a good job now, I would definitely pack the bags and go back there. I could pay off my house in less than two years!

It is not unfair if he is serving our country. Life isnt' fair and until you realize that you won't get anywhere. If you finacially strapped try finding a part time job to get caught up on the bills, or a home based business from home. I sell AVon and that extra money helps me and my husband. I have been a stay at home mom for 15 years. I have sold partylite candles and marykay as well. If you don't have insurance, try going to jobs and family services and getting help. You might be surprised at what all you can get from the goverment.

"Do not judge someone unless you've walked a mile in their shoes."
As long as you and your spouse have come to an agreement on what's best for your family, now and in the future, no one else should stand in judgment of you.
If you and your spouse can't agree on it, then you've got bigger fish to fry. You need to be able to find common ground or your marriage will surely fall apart while you are gone.
I wish you and your spouse the best.

You did what you did for the sake of your family, to better the financial situation, and to provide a better future. I think it was a hard..brave..very grown-up thing to do. If you two talked about it and came to your own agreement it's no one else's business. I hope things work out for you!!!!

People do what they have to do just to keep their heads above the water. It's all about survival and how they do live to tell about it.
