Has anyone here joined the military after estrangement?

If you did, how did this help or not help, with the loss of family, resources, and stability?

I was looking into joining the Navy as an HM. It has a lot of what I'm looking for in future stability and ensuring I can still do my part to help those around me. For reference, I was going into health care before realizing I need to distance from the people who have been giving me the financial stability to pursue said passion.

It's non-negotioable staying.

The Navy lets me chase that life goal, while also providing me with a surrogate family. I made a 8-10 year plan, and it seems to be just what I need. (It also fulfills a childhood dream of mine)

But I am wondering if anyone here had any experience with this? Just interested to here what you all had to say.
