It is difficult to determine whether you are indicating that you are in transit or you are supposed to be getting ready to return to the sandbox. If you have not left yet, you need to change your orders. If you are outside CONUS, you need to request emergency leave and COME HOME. Your children could end up in foster care. This is a situation that demands your attention. As a veterans advocate, I am not unsympathetic; but if your command is telling you you have to go back, you may have to decide whether you really want to be in the military any longer. Even if you can and do hire a great criminal defense attorney, it is not safe to leave a mother with "extreme depression and PTSD" (and who fled from police and the details are "foggy") alone with three minor children. Until she is past the court proceedings and stabilized mentally / emotionally, she (and your children) needs your support (and your PRESENCE).
I wish I was closer, I would offer to assist. I have been to Fort Huachuca. It's not the end of the world, but you can walk to it from there. Best of luck Soldier.
