Pumpkinhead and I went to our respective DivorceCare groups this morning. There’s a good mix of people in my group, from a woman who has been divorced three years and another my age who has been divorced twice to three whose marriages broke up after 20+ (in one case 36) years. We introduced ourselves, watched a 40-minute video and then discussed it. The program seems fairly good and the workbook has lots of tips and meditations for the week. It has an area for journaling and some suggested supportive Bible verses. I think I will find it helpful.
Pumpkinhead’s class has kids ranging from his age to 15 and he seemed happy when he left. I asked him what they talked about and he said “About people whose Mommies and Daddies don’t live together.” I said, “What did you tell your friends?” He said, “Mommy and Daddy don’t live together anymore. Daddy is in [Country] and he has a mustache.” Okay… We tried to call his Daddy to talk about the class but he didn’t answer.
