D - I - V - O - R - C - E

Divorce

Sometimes things don't work and you have to go your separate ways. It is never just one persons fault when a marriage ends. Each party has to take responsibility for their part in why the marriage didn't work. It's a daunting task because no wants the blame placed on them.

During my divorce, I created a song. Well, just a couple of lines sung in the tune of "Respect" by Aretha Franklin.
D - I - V - O - R - C - E ~ Find out what it means to me.
D - I - V - O - R - C - E ~ So glad to be set free.
I actually sang that song and did a little jig right after the court clerk signed my divorce papers.
