    if you are legally married then there is no way he can just leave you... you should call J.A.G... the military cares for families and as his wife they will do something for you.... trust me if you turn to them its their duty to help you. good luck

    The military can help you. Visit MilitaryOneSource.com for information on how to contact the local offices and get help in finding shelter.

    Don't listen to people here being nasty. I was homeless when my husband was deployed because of housing shortages, and the apartments were all too expensive. His pay grade was not high enough to allow me to live wherever I pleased. I had to live with my family, but there are military housing funds that can be used to help you find a home till you can get on your feet.

    oh gosh i am sorry to hear this! you need to go down to where he is stationed and demand to speak to his first SGT immediately ASAP and tell every superior that has anything to do with him exactly what you just wrote in this post! he will be in a whirlwind of trouble! how dare him. he is not allowed to have any type of relations on deployment. also, once they find out what he is doing/has done, he will be demoted and severely punished- however probably not near what he really deserves! get down there and let them all know!! he may even get a dishonorable discharge. dont be afraid to stand up for yourself!

    Call the family center for whichever branch he is in. Look up the numbers online if you don't have them. Most times you can take out small loans that you pay back out of the paychecks.

    How DID you become homeless? Is the deployment responsible for your homelessness? Why was it mentioned? Where did you live before? Whose computer are you using now? It sounds like you and your husband are not even together.....

    Tell the whole story if you want real answers.

    Seek out family or friends. Find a job and have family or friends babysit while you are at work.
