This might be close to "emily level crazy"

I could barely get through the giant wall o' text that is the bio.

Am I the only one who thinks this blogger and Candy would get on great?

Oh, Lord. I just have no words for this entire entry:

A shit storm, indeed.

Well, shit. I need to read the whole blog now. His lying about appointments, the scan he said he had, his wanting to go to the doctor alone. Wow. That's all SO sketch. She barely knew him when he shipped off. He could just actually be an asshole (or a sociopath/narcissist...).

We recently, as you know via my blog here, had his TBI re-evaluation for the service-connected claim we placed earlier this year, since it was never put into the VA system, though his service record indicates he had a injuries to his head from explosions in theater. You also know because I blogged it that his claim was approved to be expedited back in June due to financial hardships that were NOT going away. You know that both of us were so fired up about constantly having to fight for everything, how every organization we sought help through (except for our church and Shepherds for Lost Sheep and the Vet Center) played with our minds and told us in order to be helped we had to essentially pretend we were white trash and mooch off the system and be irresponsible with what little we did have. You know that our brains were fried and that the stress of all of that was causing ridiculous escalated PTSD symptoms, depression leading to numerous suicide attempts, two miscarriages (however I firmly believe there were other contributing factors to that, factors I won't get into here), job loss, a test of amounts of patience we did not think we had, isolation, the selling of items in our house and a vehicle to pay a couple bills, and really, a level of humility (more like humiliation) and discomfort that few others know of in the "first world." We don't HAVE first-world problems, you see. Well, I suppose we have some, but we are not your typical Americans regarding much.

This is from this past Nov.. I'm confused as to why someone would get pregnant no less than three times (two miscarriages and current pregnancy) with all this going on?

OMG YES. She's more of a Candy type than an Emily type, what with the drama, exaggerations, persecution complex, and paranoia about the government.

[bea]

Because Jesus, that's why.

[polecat]

I fully realize that for some of you, it sounds like I'm going out on a limb here, but in all sincerity... I believe that when I married my husband, all of my future orgasms belonged to him.

All your orgasms are belong to us.

I hope this woman never ever has an orgasm in her sleep. She'll never forgive herself for her nocturnal unconscious fornication.

I'm torn between being appalled by most of her views, and feeling terrible for her. A close friend of mine is a Marine with combat related PTSD, and some of the posts on that subject have me close to tears.

Me too. I'm a former Marine myself and the wife of a retired Marine. So I know too well about PTSD.....

However, then I run across a hate filled rant like this one

The LGBT "trend" (yep, I'm using that word!!!) is making it 'cool' for confused girls and boys and men and women to be as openly sexual as possible. It's not about coming out of the closet. It's about exploiting themselves and pawning hormonal weaklings and over-sexing the culture. You can't even search "lesbians" in the FB tab at the top without coming up with basically pornographic images. What self-respecting individual puts them self out there like that? No job will take them seriously, unless their boss is also part of the LGBT community. It's a damn culture of sin. It's a 24/7 orgy. It's not about being secure. It's not about confidence. It's about fitting in to what others say you should do. Peer pressure to deceive themselves. A bunch of demons yelling "come with me! I'll show you how to be a really strong lesbian! Come with me boy. Strip and I'll show you why being gay is fabulous." It's making people money and making their souls burn. It's promoting HIV and AIDS at the expense of our tax dollars and their casual soirees and perverted menage a trois. It's ruining the family and ruining the world. What kind of community seeks its own destruction? What kind of person in their right mind smiles while they rip their own flesh off? That's what this is, essentially. Self-mutilation with sex. A bunch of animals who don't know when to stop perverting themselves. They hunger for unrighteousness.

You know, when I was nothing short of confused and secretive about my own sexuality growing up, you didn't even see heterosexuals with their tops off on day-time tv. Now you can't go on the internet without seeing teenage sex-addicts struttin' their stuff with pounds of makeup on. And what? They want to complain about gang rape and sex trafficking? They want to whine because someone cheated on them even though they have a history of showing them self off and getting drunk with their Nancy boys? They go to the store and wonder why half of them self likes the attention and the other half is scared to death that their stalker is stalking them because they watched their "amateur video that wasn't public" online? Gosh.... people are STUPID! And they will be until God opens their eyes.

And some of you Christians out there need to wise the heck up. Read what Proverbs has to say about adulteresses and temptresses. If you think it's a joke, talk to me. I used to be one before Jesus saved me from eternal damnation. I'll sober you up very fast with my words.

Today's disgusting and desensitized "non-judgmental" community has it backwards. It's not judgement we have too little of. The community at large is missing knowledge of good and evil and they have no fear of God. People still judge! They judge each other. They judge laws, they put their two cents (and 1000 judgments) in their Facebook posts, they gossip, and they then turn a blind eye to all of it. They judge the one who judges with righteous judgment and judge the person who judges correctly, convicting their soul of their sin. They judge who's a better sinner and who has better and worse repercussions of their sin. So with that, do you think I care if I step on toes in this manner? I don't. You don't need to hear about a message of love, lesbians and gays, bisexuals and trannies. You all think you KNOW what love is, so I won't bore you. If it's so loving, why must you have pride parades? Why must you flaunt? Why must you be so provocative? And why must I watch it? Why must you cause others to stumble? Why must you be the devil's pawn? You think you're so liberated but you're a slave to your sin and you LIKE it. You have PRIDE in what you do. You don't struggle in it anymore. You don't struggle in finding ways to be comfortable about your sin. You make talk shows and parades and songs and t-shirts and movies and food and stores about it. You tell your friends you're so proud of it. You're so proud of them doing something unnatural. You're so proud of encouraging them to encourage others to perform sexual acts that devastate the natural order of things and promote the extinction of us all. Pride pride pride pride. Happy happy pride. Pride of lust, lack of self-control, zero discernment, a lack of wise judgment, zero respect for your own bodies and minds, and no filter. Where's the Lord of Hosts in all that?

It's alright if I've pissed you off. It's really okay, you know? I'm not tolerant of any sin. And I don't need to be, either. I know where I stand and I don't have to agree with you, nor you I. I'm of the belief that millions share, and millions are being silenced and guilted into thinking that man and woman, that old way of creating life... no no, the ONLY way of creating life, is not as worthy of speaking about as this lovely sin you flaunt. The wrath of God will come upon those who do not repent. I don't care how attached to your sin you are. Heck, you may struggle in fighting against your sin your whole life. Why fight so much, right? You've spent most of your life fighting who you really are. Well, congratulations. You've come out of the closet. Now you can boast in your wickedness, wicked people can applaud your wickedness, you can pray for your parents to be supporting and proud of your wickedness, and you can have fun feeding an addiction that will never fully satisfy you because it was *made* NOT TO satisfy you. Sin will never satisfy.

Who satisfies? God. And that's right. All LGBT hell just broke loose and I'll be called a hater and a bitch and an old fart and a traitor for having left my former lifestyle almost ten years ago. Ten years ago this month, actually! You are in sin. You will perish unless you repent and have faith in Jesus to save your soul. You WILL perish unless you repent and believe. That's a promise. And for some of you who secretly watch lesbians get it on because you think it's so hot, this is a rude reminder for you: Put your hormones back in the box, confess your disgusting sin to God, and do something holy with yourself. Present yourself to the Lord as an acceptable and pleasing sacrifice. What sacrifice is there in reviling and aching for sin? None. Abstain. Flee from temptation. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. No excuses.

I guess it's good that she's enlightening us on how we can be like her. By judging everyone based on appearance and first impressions, we become closer to God.

Also, God hates vibrators.

[polecat]

Me too. I'm a former Marine myself and the wife of a retired Marine. So I know too well about PTSD.....

However, then I run across a hate filled rant like this one

Why is she searching "lesbians" on Facebook? And is she saying she was once a lesbian but is now straight? And if she's straight, why was she searching "lesbians" on Facebook?

[polecat]

Also, God hates vibrators.

Then why do I find myself crying out, "Oh God, Oh God!!!" when I use mine?

(I kid, I kid!)

:lol: I am really glad I didn't have water in my mouth when I read that line or I would have spat it out, ruined my work laptop, and had a hell of a time explaining why.

[prairiemuffin]

Surprisingly, one of the things that disturbed me most about this is how she wrote her entire bio in third person.

That just doesn't seem....right.

[justakitten]

My fraud radar is going off on this one. Just seems too weird. And yeah, the bio written in third person was just odd.

[keen23]

She's like a horrifying mix of ExGayGreg and Kidist.

Poe's Law? Maybe. Like this is just too good to be true.

I agree.

This part -

hadn't thought of it being a major problem, just how many of my family and friends I missed talking to over time. He always found a good reason for us not to involve ourselves in the lives of others.

sets off MAJOR warning bells for me. She's constantly makings excuses for him because of the PTSD and the TBI but doesn't go with him to the doctors because "he doesn't like all the hoopla/attention?" BS. He's hiding something.

[NotALoserLikeYou]

She has a Facebook, just have to search for her name, which is found at the bottom of her blog.

He hit their first baby so hard that he bruised him. Heartbreaking.

[ILoveJellybeans]

That's horrible :(

My favorite part about her facebook has to be the many photos of diet Dr Pepper in a champagne flute...

She's in a really awful place, but she seems (in 2010 at least) a bit more rational than some of the fundies we follow.

He wants me to be the ultimate Proverbs 31 wife, and I want to be that too, but it occurred to me today that I can't be a Proverbs 31 wife without a Proverbs 31 husband. Read it closely. The husband has a lot to do with where she stands. Her husband acknowledges her, and he praises her... a lot.

eta: I just read her post saying she's taking a concealed weapons class. Meaning there are guns in the house... :shock:

[prairiemuffin]

Yeesh. I feel like I don't even know where to start with this. Here's some thoughts I just jotted down when reading as much of this blog as I could stomach:

1. She is actively choosing to stay physically with and married to her husband, which is her right. But the fact that she also seems to be dead set on bringing more children into this fucked up situation is incredibly aggravating.

2. She's really good at just casually throwing in things that are BIG RED FLAGS to most sane people. An example from her most recent post:

"I am not paid as a caregiver because of a behavioral flag that was placed on my husband last year, so the VA doesn't check on me to see how well I'm doing things"

3. Where the fuck are the family members in this hot mess?

4. It's incredibly easy to normalize some pretty fucked up situations in life. For an outsider looking in, it's pretty blatant as to how messed up this is. But when you're as much in the thick of it as she is, it can just become day to day life.

Yes, which is why it can be soo soooo soooo easy to conceal abuse, even gross abuse. I don't know how much of this is still going on because some of the scarier entries seem to be old, but I hope to goodness that he's more stable now that they have two children (one of whom has special needs).

And to the concealed carry stuff: I don't even have words to express how horrifying that is to me. I am not anti-gun, but I also wouldn't take the risk of keeping weapons around someone with ptsd, a tbi and a history of child and spousal abuse (severe enough that she at one point sought a restraining order). This situation is scary.

[GolightlyGrrl]

Just finished reading her bio page. Yikes! What rabbit hole of crazy did I just fall into? She's a mix of Kidist, Abigail and Short Little Rebel. I can't get over the writing in third person, the hyperbole and the embellishments. She claims she didn't grow up in a Christian home, yet she went on all of these mission trips where pastors claimed she was meant for something special. She claims her family had no money but she was heavily involved in music (which of course, cost a lot of money). Her voice even rivals Mariah Carey's. Despite not graduating from high school with honors she someone gets a bunch of scholarships to attend college. She's engaged twice by the time she's twenty and had five different people propose to her. But she decided to walk down the aisle with a Marine she knew for less than a week.

Just reading her bio (and offering just a brief glimpse of it) gives me a migraine.

marinewifeunplugged.blogspot.com/2010/06/fastest-marriage-you-might-ever-read.html

Believe you me, I had made a lifetime of mistakes in the relationship department. I wasn't the pure woman of God this blog portrays. I wasn't strong, nor was I responsible. At the time, of course I thought I was, but as quickly as I made bold decisions, I regretted them, knowing that I couldn't take back anything. I was content with never marrying because at the time, gay marriage was illegal, and I had contented myself with the prospect of a "life partner." I had a slew of boyfriends, I had sex with a few people, and I frankly didn't give a rat's you know what about wisdom.

Also, it seems that she identified as gay because she just assumed she'd never get married because gay marriage was illegal. But then was engaged twice by the age of twenty (presumably to men because of her previous statements on marriage). With three other guys in the mix there, did she even have time to date any women?! I'm completely confused.
