What does it mean, really, to stay together for the sake of your children?
1 out of 2 don't make it. Does that mean that an even smaller percentage stays together because they actually like each other? We had the conversation that ended with "for the kids" scads of times while the word divorce was coming up. Their big brown eyes would widen with the tension in the room. They noticed that they were being shuffled from me to him to me again. Night time was confusing. But even in the fog of emotion emitted by them and us, when they were pitching fits and acting out, the trajectory of our destruction didn't dissipate. The house we had built crumbled around them and us because of selfish desires. We sorted through the debris and found signs of life, possibility for regeneration. They hug and kiss us more now; they know things could be getting better, but they don't know why, and neither does he.
