And for the record, I never said divorce was easy on kids.

I disagreed with saying it was worse than the death of a parent.

I didn't ask to be divorced. I didn't ask to be a single dad. But I am.

My sons live with me half the time. Were they affected by the divorce. Of course!!

Are they better or worse off now? That's not a question I can answer.

Are they well adjusted young men who know that both parents love them? Absolutely.

Am I friends with my ex? No.

Am I polite and cordial to her when it comes to the boys and eventually on the same page with her on issues affecting them? Yes.

I guess the bottom line is that when you say that divorce is automatically horrible for the children it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Everybody hurts. It's part of life. Don't miss the good stuff.
