You are no fool.

We marry based on trust. Remember that big ceremony?

No one gets married believing that they will be betrayed. That wouldn't be a marriage.

Are you alone in what you are thinking about keeping busy vs solitude?

Let me tell you something about my separation agreement. I think there are about 40 standard clauses on who gets custody on what holidays and events. One standard is that the kids stay with mom on mothers day. I can't fathom how many of these standard agreements have been used over the decades.

The point is, you are literally not alone. How many people have signed such custody agreements and how many are contemplating the very same things you are right now?

Just think about it. Millions in the US right now, even more if you think about the whole world. And how many might be in even worse situations?

And when you think that right now, you are sharing the same experiences with millions of others, feeling and thinking the same thoughts. It takes a little edge off things.

See you on Father's day Heavy. I'll be thinking about you.
