I got the call today from my cousin in Kansas. Five years in and it's time for the divorce.
The honest truth is that I have become bitter about the whole thing. Having been divorced myself for over two years now. I can't help thinking about the horrible things that men and women do to each other...
Her husband was deployed overseas (Iraq) for over a year while she stayed home and worked on her degree with two kids to take care of. He's back for less than six months now and is asking for the seperation.
It's not my place to go into the details, but needless to say he is a scumbag.
She's moving back to Texas this week, arriving back at home the day before Christmas. I offered to take a bus up there and drive her back down on Thursday, but she has good friends to help her get back into town. It's a shame for her to have to go through all this during the holidays.
I was supposed to go and see my dad this week, but I may skip that (as I just saw him thanksgiving) and go see her instead.
I told her today on the phone that she's better off without the guy. Told her that she'll have no problem moving on with her life and taking care of her two kids.
I only hope I didn't lie to her.
