[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is so much meanness and punching down on this thread. None of us is perfect, and a lot of things in this life are out of our control.  You can feel great about your marriage today and pat yourself on the back for choosing well and then [b]find out tomorrow that your husband is cheating or has been hiding a gambling addiction or has realized they are gay. [/b]

It’s reasonable to discuss the impact of divorce on children and how to mitigate potential issues, but I don’t see that here. I see a bunch of jerks being mean to single moms.

Give grace and be nice. You might need it yourself some day.[/quote]

There’s actually a fair amount of simmering fear in this thread. Smugness is usually  a form of storytelling, to oneself above all. It’s a way of reassuring yourself that you are safe, that the bad things that happen to others won’t and can’t happen to you, because you’ve done it “right.”[/quote]

You mean like the story that you’re telling yourself that not only are your kids fine being shuttled between two homes, they’re actually better off that way!  [/quote]

Dude, I’m one of the happily married kids of divorced parents who was happier after my parents’ divorce than I was before.

Their divorce felt like breathing fresh air after a lifetime of gasping for breath. [/quote]
