I'd be happy to consult my handy-dandy Writer's Market and prepare you a list of potential houses. Maybe there's some way you can fold this into your BA program? If you have any writing assignments due -- and this is what I tell all of my students, by the way -- take advantage of the opportunity and use it as a chance to write a first draft of an introduction or a chapter or whatever.
In a psych class, for example, I could easily see a research paper on attitudes toward divorce in the literature with your observations from the community here as a case study.
In a sociology class, an exploration of the seeming divergence between Loh and Flanigan (recent articles referenced hereabouts) as representatives of the cultural split on divorce. Or, more your bailiwick, a thoughtful discussion of the sort-of meta-disconnect there is between strong Christian faith and divorce. I believe I've even seen some empirical research on that topic.
Anyway, merely food for thought. But you could start "working" the problem even as you work your "everyday" problems....
So, no cannot wind it into my classes, but I have taken it to heart. I did, in the past, use my experiences to blow a professor's mind. When I took Alternative Dispute Resolution, unlike my classmates who ADR'd a divorce, I leveraged my couple into a separation and counseling. Prof said she had NEVER seen that approach and wished more took it. My paper is now an alternative option to approaching the case study for the class.
I would welcome the publishing house support and am not above dropping broad hints for potential contact names.
Now, I need to feed the natives before they eat the cat. I don't understand how they get to sleep until almost 9:30 and then demand food before their eyes are open!

Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. I Corinthians 13:7
Hon, I am reading and wishing you strength (and luck to your cat !!). xxx K
K--
Well, the cat made it--she is still pretty fast, albeit completely obnoxious!
Thanks for the strength. I have managed to maintain my calm, despite the inner turmoil and pain. I know, deep in my heart, God has things in His control and i just need to stand strong. Or, as Puppy said, keep doing what I am doing.

Keeping up to date with your sitch here and sending some prayers your way.
Thanks WDID.
I am doing better today, but did fall apart a bit at church. The praise and worship really spoke to my heart and my pastor is an amazing preacher.
He was here for about 2 hours today and will be over after work tomorrow and will be going to D9's appointment with us. I hope the OW is being a raging lunatic about him being here with the kids.
DH told the girls he is coming to the church picnic on Sunday. That was a major shocker and I was flabbergasted when he came to me and confirmed the time. Too weird, but I will take the family time, especially at a church function.
As an aside, D6 begged and begged DH to go to church tonight--of course he said no. Interestingly, he had on his t-shirt from the church.
Still praying for the mountain to move.

Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. I Corinthians 13:7
I can't find the words to pray I'm a little down today Can you help me? Can you hold me? I feel a million miles away And I don't know what to say Can ya here me anyway? What I need is for you to reach out your hand You have taught me No matter what you'd understand
CHORUS:
Lord move in the way, that I've never seen before Cause there's a mountain in the way and I'll knock on the door I'm drifting away, waves are crashing on the shore So Lord move (move), or move me.
END CHORUS
I've look every where to find A simple peace of mind I can't find nothing on my own So I got to leave myself behind Take up this cross of mine Give away everything I hold onto
Lord I know the only way is through this Lord I know I need you to help me do this
CHORUS
Lord move in the way, that I've never seen before Cause there's a mountain in the way and I'll knock on the door I'm drifting away, waves are crashing on the shore So Lord move (move), or move me.
Out of this place of complacency To a place of fellowship with thee Cause I am weak but Lord you are so strong And you know it's been way too long (been way too long)
Lord move in the way, that I've never seen before Cause there's a mountain in the way and I'll knock on the door I'm drifting away, waves are crashing on the shore So Lord move (move)...
Tonight, right after the kids and I finished doing prayers (where D9 has taken to thanking God for her Daddy being home and restoring our family-positive affirmation) Slow Fade came on and then While I'm Waiting--back to back. D9 looked up and said, God, you are so awesome. What a great warrior she is.
