6. I'm just sorry.

I’d be pissed and really sad too. I have a good friend who divorced her husband because he was a lying, cheating psychopath. She left him to save her sanity, her self esteem among many things. He was/is a raging alcoholic and we often talked about how much easier it would be if his luck just ran out one day and she were widowed rather than to go through what she has for years and will for years to come until their child is raised. I know it sounds like an awful thing to wish for. Even though most of their friends and family support her divorce, that support comes with strings that just wouldn’t be there if the guy just dropped dead. Hard to say but really true. I get it, mopinko. At least I think I do. This must have been a tough week.
