How many have experienced, or know a Soldier, coming back from deployment faced with their spouse's infidelity and divorce. I'm sure the numbers are staggering! Add to that a campaign of denigration by that spouse to turn your child against you and your entire family. This is known as Parental Alienation. I've started a group called HE.A.L. Parental Alienation on FB and want to help as many people as possible by spreading the word of Hope, Education, Awareness, and Legislative Reform.
Please share your thoughts and experiences here and in the group. Thanks!

This is definitely a major issue and I applaud you for trying to do something about it.
Another major issue related to this that most people don't yet know about is how the army, facing congressional pressure about sexual assault, is now on a witch hunt for service members that are dealing with this and similar situations.
Rather than helping the Soldier, they are actually providing benefits to spouses and even boyfriend/girlfriend acquaintances that make accusations against Soldiers. It's a double tap. Separate yourself from an abusive and/or cheating spouse and the army will actually go to them and prosecute you.
I know many others that are facing this situation. My story is below.

Any thoughts on making this topic part of the Resiliency Training initiative?

I am preparing for a deployment (my first) in a few months. I will try to remember to keep this in mind for my other soldiers in case we come across an issue.
Thank you for the information.

Excellent. Thank you, Sir. Spreading awareness is critical and your proactive efforts will certainly make a difference. Please share with the FRG as a possible topic and best of luck on your deployment.
