Colleen, I cannot clap enough. Thank you for writing this. I wish I could put it out there in the world and force everyone to read it. Because this is my story as well….without the good friends. His friends were just like him, all divorced their wives and took everything even their children if they could manage. So a different kind of boys club, but…
I’m so sorry to hear this about you and your kids but at the same time so proud of your guy friend for being that ONE man who would speak truth to BS. If only we had more of those. Just yesterday as I am being forced back to court after 1.5 years of relative quiet, I’m frantically grasping in my head…who could I reach out to? Certainly there is someone who could talk some sense into him. Lol. Funny.
There is no one. No one wants to be that person. I’m blessed in that my kids are older. And they have spoken truth to his BS at times. But my God, it’s so sad we’ve come to this.
My love and heart goes out to you. I feel this to my very core.
