Wow! When I first signed up for this forum, I signed up to get help, helping my soldier son handle his PTSD. Ignoring all the abuse I recieved form my ex-husband... and simply throwing myself into my children's life to avoid my own problems. I DEFINATELY understand the religion conflict in this thread. My ex was a Christian "when it was convient" I turned away from the the Christian religion because of all the contradicting "rules" My son still says he is a Christian, but doesn't "live the lifesyle" He isvery angry all the time... many sexual partners... not attending services... I believe a soldier can be religious (Christian... Pagan... etc...) but it is very difficult!
