I agree the psychology behind them is interesting... but also frustrating, illogical, and devastating.
How are your children doing 10 years later? A mom disappearing 2 years from her own kids life and then forming a new family with someone elses kids ??
And yeah, this experience has given me the super power of seeing what people are really going through...or actually who they really are. Like when i see a step mom living with someone elses kids..i recognize tjat step mom. When i talk to a sweet old lady that tells me how her ex dil holds grudges against her son all these years...i recognize that son. When a man tells me ,"children cant be happy unless parents are happy" i recognize who he is. These are selfish people at the core.
