It sucks, really does. Cause there is nothing you can do about it, it is out of your circle of control and only in your circle of concern.
It's true that if a person leaves the R without resolving their issues they will continue to repeat it over and over. So I can expect a lot of OM to come and go and watch my S go through this devistation. Oh but she insists she is a good parent. Ya right!
Well more suspicion confirmed. S is talking about some guy yelling at mommy about being married. I'm slowly realizing my W is as John Steinbeck put is the "people of the lie." I haven't read it but a friend said it is very interesting. Apparently it is the case he lays out that there is a god. But he goes on further to say there are really three types of people in this world and only two are trustworthy. The first are followers of God and his teachings. The second are athiests, that since they are bound by their conviction they are trustworthy. But the people of the lie are dangerous. These are people with no resolute belief or structure, thus they do what ever suits their fancy for the particular moment. Nothing they do or say is really punishable or held to any standard of being responsible for society. Rather it is a dog eat dog world and get what you can while you can. Sounds pretty close.
Maybe something to keep in mind as we may be all soon heading into the dating world once again.
