Please make time to watch, listen, and/or skim the transcript of this hour-long deep dive into the Military Dirty Discard, a planned set of strategies for spousal abandonment while deployed overseas. (Though Vavich’s research has also uncovered this tactic on bases around the US as well.)
Support Shannon Vavich’s Substack by clicking the link below. Paid Substack subscriptions have been her sole means of supporting herself and her three children since her soon-to-be-ex-husband abandoned them in Germany last year. While she recently began receiving spousal support, legal fees in multiple jurisdictions (and countries) add up.
Aside from that, her memoir-in-real-time is well-written, gripping, and vulnerable. I feel like I’m walking beside her. She is helping other abandoned spouses connect, share their stories, compare notes, and advocate for themselves with the military, the media, and Congress.
