I spent this morning in the local courthouse. Called in as a witness for a divorce proceeding. I kicked and fought the whole way.... Killed me to see this family being torn apart by selfishness and greed.
Our kids have grown up together but my girlfriend and I have grown apart....friends no longer, by my choosing. I lost complete respect for her. Unethical handling of family finances and property, belittling her husband in front of the kids, and blaming the kids for her own shitty problems.
Life isn't perfect. Love isn't perfect. But damnit!!! Why do women have kids if they won't commit to raising them in a home where both parents can contribute and nurture them?
So I spent 5 hours this morning and lunch with their 15 yr old daughter. She needed me as her only trusted adult friend. All the adults in her world are acting like spoiled immature brats. I listened to her, I cried with her, I comforted her, and I shared words to lift her up and give her strength. Tore my heart out to hear all the emotional crap her parents have burdened her with the past year. A child shouldn't have to deal with shit like this...
I hate to say it, but women can sometimes be such selfish bitches...
