I Used to Wish I Was Divorced

Read on the Wednesday, Mar 19th radio program.

Hi Dr. Laura,

My marriage hasn’t always been easy, and there were times when I wanted to throw in the towel. I’d hear you talking about the importance of staying together until the kids were grown and think, “That’s crazy! Why would anyone do that? Life is short, and I’m not happy.” My sisters are all divorced, and I used to be jealous of how they could date and do whatever they wanted. But now they are the jealous ones, envying the stable, safe, loving home environment that we’ve created for ourselves and our daughters.
