They were both soldiers and it appears he passed away, possibly in combat...you want the pain and suffering to go away and it's very easy to get caught up doing things you would never do otherwise. It looks like she got her life back together...good for her and GOD Bless her...you can't judge people because you don't know what they've been through...just 🙏 for them

This story hits very close to home for me. My sweet hubby came home a very different person after losing too many of his brothers over there and just going through it all. We both turned to drugs and alcohol for a while, just trying to heal. We were lucky enough to help each other get clean. My hubby is a 100% Disabled Combat Veteran and I am truly just such a proud wifey. I am beyond proud of u sweet girl, thank u for all of your sacrifices. ❤️

This is exactly why God teaches us to take care of the homeless, the addicted, those who are down for whatever reason. It could happen to anyone at anytime. Many don’t find their way back. It’s time to lose the hate and spread love and support. Welcome back indeed. 🙏🏼
