    My boyfriend is about to go into basic in January. I understand how you feel. I live with my sister and her dying husband. They have 3 kids. Ive been here since birth with each of them. My parents had to take travel nursing job just to help them out financially. The kids call me mama. I love them so much. Ive had to really think things thru. When he gets out of basic and gets stationed somewher, what do i do?? Two very different loves but only one life!! What if he gets his wishlist and moves to Italy or Germany?? If i dont go and am never willing to go do i just give up MY dreams of love and a family of my own? Yes my nieces and nephew need me bc my sister would rather be at work than home and my brother in law enjoys being out hunting rather than spending the time he has left with his kids! But they're still loved and taken care of in the end! You cannot give up you're life or you'll regret it! Since ive been 17 ive been raising her children. I never got to party or do what others my age did.. but by giving the babies that time they have great memories! You can call, write, visit and have them visit! Its so important to live your life! Im almost 30.. never married and raised her children and have a void in my life in a way. Ill never regret those wonderful years but when the time comes.. im choosing to live my own life! Hope this helps!
