[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend got divorced 2 years ago her kids are teenagers. All have chosen to live with their father because he lets them drink alcohol and has no rules. She hasn’t seen her children in over a year. I wouldn’t blame her 1 bit for leaving. Her kids abandoned her.[/quote]

Yes.  As the OP described her, I don't see a selfish woman  who abandoned her children. I see a heartbroken mother trying to get over her pain by starting an entirely new life.[/quote]

[b]DH may be a manipulative A-hole (cap.) and this woman is just trying to get through what he did to her, on day at a time.  You sur are a shitstirrer, OP.  May this come back and bite you, ten fold. You truly do NOT know someone until you live with them. [/b][/quote]

OP here.  Not a sh*t stirrer at all.  I just happened to meet a woman from the DC area who told me almost right away and very matter of factly that her two kids in high school wanted to live with their father so she agreed and packed up and moved to Central America with no definite plan when to see her kids again.  She didn't have a bad word to say about the ex so I find it pretty interesting that so many posters are so quick to pin her decision on him.  She didn't get divorced yesterday -- she gave up the kids yesterday.  And she's not exactly hiding this her situation or is in witness protection -- she told me, a perfect stranger, what she's doing here (she's renting a very nice apartment), where she's from in the DC area, even where her kids go to high school -- so I'm not "outing" her either.

[b]I[/b] remain convinced that posters are giving her a pass because she's a woman.     [b]

No, but it may seem that way to you because we're so put off by your bizzare behavior. Who spends their vacation running to an anonymous forum to gossip about a stranger like this?? [/quote]

A miserable old hag, that's who. [/quote]
