Thank goodness. I had chosen very well in my first marriage because my first husband, I call him my wuzband, was a super amazing and cooperative co partner, co parent and best friend. We didn't have a visitation agreement because he would never have been able to stick to it. His schedule is crazier than crazy and I never said no. Why wouldn't I want my children to see their dad? So we got divorced. I don't even know how I survived. There were days I couldn't get out of bed. I certainly don't want anyone to think it was easy because it was the hardest thing in the world. There are days I was furious, I was angry. I thought if I had a knife. I mean, I felt all of those feelings. I sound so calm and relaxed now. I promise you I wasn't then, but I was a woman of faith. I am a Jew, and that's always been there for me in my life.
