[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a widow - since kids were young- and I do not wish this life on anyone. [/quote]

You would if you had an abusive marriage: would love nothing better than living life with just me and my kids. That is far better than a horrible marriage or having to coparent with someone you never want to speak to again. [/quote]

Can you please not say this to a widow? We are traumatized enough as it is without your projections. I am sorry for anyone's trauma about an abusive marriage, but please extend kindness to others' situations without inserting a different narrative. Being in an abusive marriage is terrible. Being a widow is terrible. Leave it at that, please.[/quote]

Two way street.

Obviously this post doesn’t apply to you- you had a living husband and active, involved one with the kids and house.

So surely you can understand and empathize with others who have the exact opposite.

Most women do not divorce lightly. It’s an agonizing decision, it means there were serious problems, and it also means, if minors are involved, you will still be tethered. Surely you understand this and how it has nothing to do with your widow situation. Because everyone else and abused women understand the difference [/quote]
