I'm a former U.S Marine. I was deployed 3 times overseas. In 2007 my best friend died saving my life. 2 years later I came home after being wounded. I found out that everyone I loved and cared about, abandoned me. My family and fiance included. They said i'd never amount to anything. Proved them wrong. I now have a degree and work for the U.S Government as an Emergency Manager.
When I was 17 I fell in love with this guy. He turned around and cheated on me when I was pregnant with his daughter. We broke up and now going through a custody battle. Everyone thinks I hate him because of what he did to me but in all honesty I'm still hopelessly in love with him no matter how hard I try to tell myself that it's irrational.
I'm a marine and I have been away for the past four months, I can't tell anybody but i feel so lonely, i'm thousands of miles far from everything i love. Everyone here is emotionally stronger than me, i wish i was too.
