[Don Plumley]

We have friends that went through a similar situation. He built a successful business, worked too hard probably, but provided an exceptional life and unquestioned devotion for his family. His biggest fault probably was absence of family vacations. So the wife has a fling files for divorce, nasty, nasty, nasty. Their only child is definitely paying for it.

In the long run, he'll have a better relationship with his child and the child will see that the mother valued her life more than the family. But at what cost...

Fortunately my wife and I have a relationship built on mutual goals, commitment and values. Did I mention I love her? I'm a lucky guy, there are some whacked out XX's there.
