Thanks for that. It'll be interesting to see what WAW's mood is like tomorrow morning, having spent the entire day today with them.
And if one more person tells me " oh they'll be fine" I'll throttle them. Three adult children of divorce laid that on me this week, but their experiences are 20 or 30 years in the past, so I find their glib assurances highly suspect. And, when pressed, the woman I lunched with today admitted she hasn't had a successful long-term relationship as an adult because "if you can't trust your parents, who can you trust?" and now she can't trust men - and inevitably picks the ones who leave.
So f**k that.
Funny--my FB says that if one more person tells me that the kids are resilient, I am going to punch them. I lived it, I frickig know better than most of the naysayers wh are in happy marriages and not the product of a divorce.
