One of my friends lost her job today.... and one of the teenagers that Johnny and I married is separating. The wife is asking for a non-contested divorce. She doesn't want their baby or anything...

Needless to say... I'm crushed! I can understand the feelings of unhappiness, disappointment in circumstances, and even the unparallelled responsiblity of parenthood and the feelings of inadequacy regarding.... but to ACT on those feelings are Beyond me! I just cannot imagine putting the persuit of happiness above my own humanity! Humanity IS caring enough about others that you DON'T HURT them for your own selfish reasons.... Maybe people don't think that way anymore.... I guess I've just always known that feelings and emotions lie to you... they tell you things that are untrue... they tell you that what you have is somehow not enough or not what you want.... and then.... it continues to tell you that for the rest of your life if you listen to it....

How could I have let those kids out of my care and not gotten that point across?
