[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm LOL that so many people on this thread think their divorce is some bit of classified information. [/quote]

No, you're probably just upset that you weren't personally told.

I was divorced last year. I did not go around announcing it to people at school pickup, random co workers or the cashier at the grocery store. If you needed to know, I told you-otherwise, it's nunya business.[/quote]

Please. It spreads like wildfire even if you personally only told three people. [/quote]

Okay, so if you tell a few people directly, other people will find out. At that point, it is reasonable to expect that people might check in with the divorcing parent(s) because that's what empathetic people do. You don't have to make a giant announcement on social media or whatever - I think those are kind of weird and showboaty, myself. But it's also not this huge secret and most people, upon hearing that an acquaintance got divorced over the summer, would probably, in the context of talking to that acquaintance, acknowledge the divorce.
