My divorce started amicable and is actually getting better. She brought her laptop over for me to troubleshoot, and took me out to dinner to thank me.
I married a twin of Gleena’s husband. He found a stupider woman than I am/was, and left, taking the kids with him. I came home from work to an empty house. Kids were 5 and 3.
After finding out where he was and retrieving the children (with help from the other woman, who had two of her own), the deal was that he pay child support, and he could see them every summer - as long as he paid the freight and they wanted to visit.
By age 12, they’d had enough. “Was Dad always like that?” They neither of them ever voluntarily contacted him again.

If it weren’t for the kids I would never speak to her again. We are civil for the kids’ sake, but I wouldn’t piss on her to put her out if she were on fire*
mine wasnt too bad for me… she cheated, i got everything because she knew she couldn’t even try to get any of it…
and i’ve never seen her since… though her family still likes me.
