Dissolved Union
Sitting here alone, and my mind is completely filled with fear. How did it come to this, and where will I be this time next year? A decision has been made, and now we're not sure about the house, Who will stay here, who will move on, relinquishing our titles of spouse. It's so damn difficult, and yet, there is no way around this unlovely mishap, Once the apple of each other's eye, but now strangers trying to bridge this gap. Our son now 20 years old, and he seems ok, just happy the fighting will reside, But it's not a wonderful experience for him, when he witnesses our worlds collide. Guess it's true, what they say, sometimes death is less painful then a divorce, There is no other option, the inertia of our differences has directed this course. I hope everything turns out ok over time, and hoping that this pain does finally end, And the three of us can still co-exist to a degree, and my ex-wife remain my friend.

Very poignant poem, we all suffered the effects of my daughter's divorce, because it does impact on the whole family, so sad.

It leaves its mark.

Sometimes, unfortunately, there is no marital solution. Better to end a marriage at the right time and avoid destroying both marriage and friendship. Become a better person by relieving both parties of their roles as spouse.

Feeling for you Michael divorces can be painful... or not. In my divorce experience we were able to accept our issues were better left as unsolved and move on. There is always collateral damage and was sad to see the impact on our young son. We remained friends and realised we would always be connected by our son... I am very happy to say given time the issues were not as significant and were able to find resolve, enough for us to be remarried happily for the last 30 years. Hope things work out for the best.

Thanks for the well wishes Rod. Divorce process certainly is a mixed bag of emotions in limited time slices. Things will work; what lies between point A (journey) and point B (destination) is the difficult crossing, but soon enough everyone involved will be in a better situation overall.
