(Responding from email)Hello this is unfortunate to hear, the main thing is that you could be there fro him if he needs you. I myself have thought of the "D" word quite often lately but I hang on,barely, But I have put in 18 years of my life with my hubby and I figured I would try to get along and make it work, There are some days though that we argue especially when money is tight. But divorce is to easy a way out. They maybe should try a trial separation first see how things go. Women have a reality check once the wedding ring is on(well most anyhow) The men have now caught us and all the fun of the chase is over and they stop treating us like goddesses,princes,their one and only. It goes back to boys nights and spending time away from home. It is a big let down for alot. Instead of falling over themselves to do what we want they now hide in the garage so they won't have to do anything. It is a shame really..Love is Magic.. I do hope he will get to see his kids more in the summer months it will be alot of money going back and forth every month especially with the gas so high. I think maybe he should stick around a little longer. Things may work out things always seem to turn out unexpectedly sometimes. I hope the kids will be able to deal with this it will be hard on them. It is hard to lose a parent even if you see them every other weekend still not the same as seeing everyday. All I can say is be strong, lend him your ears when he needs to talk and your shoulder if he needs that also and listen the best thing is to listen. that seems to help more. Well, I will stop my ramblings...Hugs! takecare.

Sorry to hear that it didn't work out for your uncle and his wife. I have three children myself and it must be very hard for them right now to go through such change. Best things is for them to try hard to be kind to each other for the children's sake. They need to know that even though their parents won't be under the same roof they still have them both. I wish your uncle luck
