I'd venture the child he was so put out to pick up from school was much more mature than he was, or will ever be. My sympathies that remaining silent and not pointing out the obvious cost you your job. On the other hand, had Owner not owned the company, I doubt his track record as an *employee* would've been anything to brag about.

This requires more maturity than many of us can ever hope to have, but finding it during such a difficult time is so necessary.MuseSwingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11999288873532715380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3389669289904198220.post-60818743814745855132010-03-16T19:22:41.231-04:002010-03-16T19:22:41.231-04:00Great post Muse.

Having been through a divorce I'd like to add my two cents.<br /><br />In my opinion, children should be the focus when divorce is first contemplated as well. Children grow up and if the parents/couple is still not getting along then they should feel free to part ways, but give the children the chance to have a carefree childhood first. (this is if there is no physical abuse or infidelity) Like you stated marriages are static and what is unacceptable today may not seem so bad with time and distance. <br /><br />Once the divorce has taken place no matter how hard a couple tries to shield the child, his life is irrevocably changed. He will never spend holidays or other special occasions with both his parents again. <br /><br />Divorce is just plain sad.steviewrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14233066158555762167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3389669289904198220.post-68971741785849615202010-03-16T18:34:15.038-04:002010-03-16T18:34:15.038-04:00Thank you for your comment, Adrienne!
