Divorce is hell

Well, I'm back at my blog after a few months. Since I blogged last, I have had to attend court for a divorce case, and I am even more determined than ever to get the word out that divorce hurts every one, husbands, wives, both sets of in-laws, grandparents and most of all the children. The meanness and hate that permeates between the parents, no matter how discreet, plummets down on the children like a wrecking ball, and the parents are in too much pain to recognize it. So the children just suffer in silence.

So much for my rant. Dr. Liz from Studio 5 called yesterday and wants my husband and I to be on her show next Friday. She wants us to talk about the book I wrote, "I Was Going to Divorce My Husband, But I Went on Strike Instead." I have to go to a graduation in Salt Lake City Thursday so I had my Friday all filled up with appointments. I have such a wonderful clientele that they all changed for me. After all, an interview is too important to pass up, so we will see how it goes..

Women's Conference

I was a speaker at the College of Eastern Utah Women's Conference yesterday because of my book, I Almost Divorced My Husband, but I Went On Strike Instead.

My speech was on the fact that the division of house-holder responsibilities has never been addressed in our society. That this is a fixable area that enables our children to be raised under the same roof with both parents. That so many people have gone through divorce and ended up in subsequent marriages with the same problem because they never learned how to fix it.

I didn't go into my strike and contract during the speech but had to address it all the same. At the end of my speech a hand went up and everyone wanted to know about the strike: why, how, how long it lasted. They all wanted to know when my book was going to be out.

It was a large enthusiastic crowd and I can't wait until the next one. I would do it again in a heart beat.
