Honestly I know my situation isn’t everybody’s, but I wanted my mother to be able to get away when I was still a kid living under my parents’ roof. Again, it’s not always abuse or toxicity that drives divorce, but in my case, I truly hoped my parents would split up. They didn’t. But as a divorcée myself, I agree with you. Divorce is heavy and isn’t something to prescribe flippantly. It isn’t always the answer.
