What's it really all about?

[AlexEN]

She thinks she has one, but I don't think she truly understands the economics. She will get a tidy sum, but it won't last her as long as she thinks, as she'll have to deplete it while going to school and the jobs she'll get on the other side may not pay as much as she thinks... I think she thinks she'll get more support and alimony than I've been led to believe will be the case... I think things, as many posters have written about in recent days, will get particularly nasty, when she learns the same things I have heard. But, Sara, she doesn't seem to be asking herself these questions; it seems that she just believes it will all work itself out and that I (and our marriage) were really the cause of all of her unhappiness. With those in the rearview mirror, now that she has found herself, all will be right with the universe and the kids will be happy because she will be happy...
