divorced??

We all know of some very nasty divorces that have happened to folks we know or know of. Some were announced in strange, even offensive ways. Newt Gingrich having divorce papers served to his wife while she was bedridden in a hospital still stands out as one of the more tasteless, callous ways to perform the deed, at least in my mind. 

 

But, feel for this poor guy who found out by a 'status update' on his mom's Facebook page.

 

Yep. The kids are always the last to know.  ;-)

 

As usual, click pic to Embiggen his web posting of the 'discovery'.

Sad

Very sad. It is always the kids who suffer. Even when the parents decide to stay together and "fight" it out. Still not good for the kids.

My ex and I sat down with our teenaged kids and told the two of them what was going on, calmly and clearly. We gave our word that they would not be pawns in the 'divorce game'. And we kept our word as we headed toward our final seperation about six weeks after that family meeting.

Nearly twenty years married, two teen kids, a house, two cars and what seemed a lifetime was being tossed away like so much used wrapping paper.

In the end, the final divorce papers were two pages plus one paragraph long, double spaced.

I wish more divorces would end so peacefully.

I agree Smorg. As much as my ex and I seem to rub each other the wrong way most times, we get along well for the sake of our children. Sometimes I refer to him as my exazz, never in front of the kids. But I have to give it to him. Today when he brought the boys home I had the worst headache. I asked him if he would stay and keep them while I laid down for 30 min. He did and kept the boys quiet and entertained and it was an hour before I was able to get back to myself. He can be awesome when he wants to.

I was lucky. 32 years with the best man on earth ( IMHO )

But my parents divorced... probably nobody in golo has heard the Lou Reed song - Caroline Says...brb

Caroline says that I'm just a toy..

that one?

Lou Reed - "Caroline Says" @ Letterman

Caroline says that I'm just a toy.."

There were 3 caroline says - yeah, that was caroline 1

Sd, I should have KNOWN that you knew who Lou Reed was/is

I hate having to have been divorced. My ex had other ideas. I'm glad to be away from her at this point as she was hateful, but I always thought when I married it would be forever - it's how I was raised
