“How can I NOT be? Her mother has abandoned her, and I’m all she has. Can I do this?”
Only you can answer that question.
My missus thought she could handle me deploying and found the answer was “no, she cannot”.
I cannot advise you one way or the other on this.
But if you can do it, have the means to, and are able to, it is your call.
I found out more about teh missus family last year than I’d cared ot do.
Apparently they have misgivings on acting like actual family.
Hence why I got moved to rear detachment.
Which sucks.
Massively.
I think I knew that, Darks. But thanks. You are a rock for me to anchor to! I love you, Man!
