Difference is my daughter was 2 at the time. She's 22 now and I haven't seen her since she was 2. her mother was young and crazy and didn't make it easy to see my daughter. Got remarried and moved on. And so did I.

Sorry to hear that man. I know exactly how military life destroys marriages and families. I went to Saudi in '91 myself. My marriage survived but it was definitely hard on my wife being pregnant and also having a baby less than a year old at home. My kids are in college now.
I got out in '93 specifically because of the hardships military life imposes on families. Not many people truly understand unless they have lived that life. I knew far too many people personally with the same story as yours, some of them good friends. I feel for all the military families and what they have to endure.
