Thank you Rose and Trippin. I really do appreciate you sharing and the insights. I don't know that Emily Post ever had etiquette tips for how to handle separation/divorce..

It is frustrating and awkward to watch them go through this. Feeling very helpless to see them so pained. It is also just the beginning and have no idea if this will be amicable or where it will lead. Will have to play it off the cuff. I hope that can maintain relations with both but time will tell.

I think what scares me the most is for the kids going though this. Then there is that in the grand scheme of things how two people can seem so compatible and loving for so long, and begin to sour to get this point that if loved another or even did at one point, how one can treat another so abominably. It breaks my heart and scares me, also makes me want to stay single these days.
