Divorce and Kids

Dear Mom,

We know you know about sacrifice. It’s natural for a mom, kinda like breathing. We saw you take that smaller piece of double fudge cake, the one we both love. We saw you clip those coupons and work double shifts and do without name-brand anything so we could score a PSP or Miley Cyrus tickets. But we also saw those sad gazes out the window. The pursed lips, the angry shouts. We know because we kicked and screamed and pouted for hours. We may have even said we hated you.

Well, we didn't mean it, not really. So to help smooth things out, FWW has five experts this month to help you to know us. Experts with tips on how to explain divorce (to us), why you and dad shouldn't stay together (just for us), and what custody arrangements are truly the best (for us). Why? Because Mother’s Day is this month. No, we didn’t forget.

Divorce isn't easy, and us kids don't make it any easier. We know you will always make sacrifices for us, and whether we say it or not, all your efforts are appreciated. For all that you do for us, we offer this month for you.
