''is there ever a good divorce?'' Dear beachzz: HELLO! SOMETIMES, there IS. Domestic Abuse, violence, etc. some I can think of. The LAWYERS do WELL in our current system. T.P. GRRR. TallPockets has seen your above scenario play out in real life FAR too many times. From BOTH the MALE and the FEMALE perspectives. SIGH. My BEST,

Oh yes!

a divorce is far less painful than marriage from hell

I wish your sister the best possible outcome if there is such a thing ...But for every divorce there are marriages that last the test of time...like mine...31 years and counting....(smile)...

The anguish here is something that I know all too well, as my sister has just recently been through something hauntingly similar over the last year. There's nothing anybody else can do but say "You're not alone, and we support you" even as we wish there was something more we could do. You said it all pretty well.

Good luck to your sister and yes sometimes people end up coming together knowning all to well they need to part but it sounds like he is not a good person! love your painting very nice:

Your sister is in a lot of peoples' thoughts and prayers for a successful decree. and of course the guy will blame her for his troubles

Ouch, don't remind me. I somehow survived two of them, and still have the scars.

How ironic that something Pavl said to me popped immediately into my mind when I read this. I can't remember the exact context: beer was involved, I know that much, but that's about it. Anyway he said: you know, the real problem isn't divorce, it's marriage. Who knows what we were actually talking about; on a level, I don't think it really matters. I thought I'd forgotten those words, but they popped back into my head after two years. And as for what you wrote: it's an unflinching look at something that is--unfortunately--all too common. It's always the one who gives the least who wants the most! Take-take-take and give nothing in return except for something nasty, grim, or otherwise unpleasant, and when divorce occurs, it becomes one last chance to take--if a judge allows that. Hopefully things work to your sister's benefit.

A hard image to put forward in words - I've seen it - I've been there. Dana

VERY well written. Even if I didn't know the story, I would understand it simply from reading your poem. Excellent work.

The real pain is that even after the dust settles. The bad apple doesn't always just go away!

A turbulent sea, a fitting companion to your words. Someone once said that marriage is the triumph of hope over experience. My sister has been through it three times. I hope your sister lands on her feet. I know you'll be there to catch her.
