gonna tell my marine brother

[Jake_to_Jackie]

marine ok my brother is the whole redneck "we dont take kindly to your type" breed whome has always though i might have been gay well he knows im pro choice and him and i will almost always get into arguments about gay rights and other things that are not pro choice cause like i said he is a marine and is 100% republic in one of are arguments im goign to say"well what if i your own brother was a >-bleeped-< and even though not gay still dressed up and did not act like a testosterone filled pig you want me to be but a gental sweet women would you diss own me or what" this make me sound like i hate my brother but i dont he is in iraq right now and i want all who belive to pray for his safe return cause even though he will never accept me as his sister i am proud to be his sibling even if i will only be his brother and he will never think of me as his sister i still love him in spite of his flaws

your sister,
Jackie

You might be surprised. My cousin (who is like a brother to me, we grew up together) is now on his way home from Iraq and is a marine. He is very similar to your brother in the sense that he's very traditional, republican (though he's starting to rethink his political views after Iraq...), and doesn't take change very well. I thought he'd hate me when I told him.

But he said "that's cool....does that mean I can teach you how to wrestle? Do you want to learn how to shoot and stuff? That'd be cool. I guess I'm supposed to call you Lane now?"

And that was it. No problems. Like I said, I was REALLY surprised....but you never know.

[Jake_to_Jackie]

thank you hunny it means alot to hear that im still scared though it is just if he went to fight and died over there well you see the last time me and him talked and well baisicly every time we talk we alwas say hatefull things and the reason is he douse not know why i bet he might or at least i hope he might be more understnding of how i am if i told him and well im scared that he is over there and if he died over there the only thing i will remeber is that we told each other we hated each other and that i lied to him till the day he died and that would tear this old girl up


Love,
Jackie

Jackie you cannot internalize that as your own mistake or regret. Write him a letter today just telling him you love him.
Him in harms way in Iraq is prolly not the time for you to come out to him, especially if your relationship is already volitile. It could put him in more danger if he is emotionally distracted from what he is doing.

[Jake_to_Jackie]

thats what i was thinkign that is why i was going to send him a letter and tell him i still love him im proud of him and i still love him and i am praying for him letting him know he is important to me the song letters from home is hitting me  close to home ya know

[togetherwecan]

:hug: Sit down and write that letter...if nothing more it will make you feel better Jackie.

[Jake_to_Jackie]

In the future, if you are going to break the news via email, try to include a bit of punctuation and paragraphs. The easier it is for people to follow the message, the quicker you can get to the heart of the matter and hopefully without any mishaps due to miscommunication.
