For all the whining I do about how depressed I am because of my divorce, I am very aware of just how lucky I am in other ways. Reading a post like the OP here is just heartbreaking to me. Why do people have to be so goddamned cruel to us? Why do people have to be so goddamned cruel in general?
For me, it has gotten better. And I fervently hope that it will get better for the likes of people like Rebecca and everyone else in similar situations.
Hang in there, my friends. There are good people out there.
Rebecca, I'll drink a toast to the memory of your grandfather and to your better fortune.
