{{{Gud}}} Strength to you.

As the child of parents who had nothing in common but myself and my sister, I used to cry myself to sleep at night wishing they'd get divorced and be happy.

You too? Of course, I followed that up with tears of terror that my mother would get custody. I had a detailed escape plan, if that happened.

Health~ma to Tep's dad...and to vw and sj, although it sounds like the drugs should help. Neat doctor there, vw. Sounds like she's of the opinion that her job would be so much easier if people just weren't ever sick.

KB, that's totally amusing me. I hope Labor Relations eats She-Horror's lunch.

OK, I can't beleive it, but I am actually going to class tonight.

I hope I don't fall asleep on the subway.

Of course, I followed that up with tears of terror that my mother would get custody. I had a detailed escape plan, if that happened.

Oh good Lord yes. A world of yes.

The worst part is that they're still together. And hating every minute of it. I can't bear to be in a room with them both at the same time. Luckily that rarely happens.

I just got a phone call. I've got a job with the company I interviewed with twice. It's $8K/year more than the last place that I worked, but it does involve an hour drive each way. Office casual, so I have to wear my nicer clothes.

Still? Job! I start Thursday.

I called Andi at work already.

YAY DANIEL!!!

Excellent news, Daniel!

That is wonderful news Daniel! Yay!

Yay Daniel!

Also, as someone who had an hour commute each way for three years, let me just say this : Books on Tape are your friend. You can get them from the library, too!

((Gud))) I'm so sorry you are going through this.

I'm going to throw my voice out there a child of divorce. My parents have been divorced for over 2 decades now, much longer than they were married. It was definitly hard on my brother and I but my parents worked very very hard at their divorce and have a really good relationship. When I was little, right after the divorce, I wanted them to remarry but as I got older I realized that the divorce was the right decision for us as a family.

Yay Daniel!!

I didn't cry myself to sleep or anything, but I did ask my parents what took them so long when they told me they were getting divorced.
