Hi all - I'm new to this forum, but am hoping to get some advice. I am the wife of a cop with 15 years on the job. We have three small children (2,4 & 6). Recently, my hubby applied to work in Afghanistan for a year as an international police trainer (contract work - 13 mos. in the sandbox). He's focused on the money (just shy of $120,000, tax free). We've taken some financial blows in the past year, and he feels this would set us up and put us back on the path to financial stability. I've brought up (several times) that this may not be a good idea -for our family, and for us. To be honest, as it gets closer to the time he would leave for training (he received a conditional offer of employment last weekend), I'm feeling pannicky and stress like I've never experienced. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get through to him the reality of how this will affect us. Any thoughts, advice or comments are welcome. I don't know if I should just suck it up, as this seems to be something he really needs/wants to do, or if I should become more forceful in my objections to this.
Thanks in advance for all replies.
