[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not nasty.  Its the truth and people deserve to know.  They also always apply for FAFSA and get it.  Divorce is a social problem.  Maybe I do have a chip on my shoulder but so what?? You can't get along with your husband and it becomes everyone else's problem?  Give the money to a deserving minority, not someone who's parents used to have a $300K+ HHI.  I'm not giving to the financial aid fund anymore.  [/quote]

You are so wrong and have indulged in so many stereotypes it is both pathetic and foul.   You are obviously in need of a great deal of pity to live ins such a dark and ugly place.

First, in a divorce the children suffer the most.  Why do you want to make it even worse for the children by making them switch schools as well as their home environment - basically take away everything they know?  Why do you want to punish the children?  They had nothing to do with the divorce and their lives have probably been pretty crappy lately.

How can you possibly characterize every divorce as "the wife not getting along with her husband"?  What a disgusting, misogynistic and scarily naive statement.

Also, minorities are NOT the only ones or "every ones" who get financial, not by a long shot.  There are LOTS of non-white people who do not need financial aid in ur private schools.  There are also many high earning and even (gasp) inherited wealth non-white families in the Washignton, DC area.  Financial aid at privates trends toward creating some economic diversity in this city and, frankly, children of divorce are usually vastly more underpriviledged economically than children in a two parent houshold.  Just because a child lived at a higher socio-econ level earlier does not have anythign to do with current circumstances (when FA is applied for).

I am married and my parents are still married.  I have no personal bias in favor of children of divorce. I do, howeveer, have a great deal of sympathy for them.  "There but for the grace of God" and all, OP.  Think about that for a while.[/quote]

I love you. Thank you for your post.
