We spent six months discussing it
Six months of recriminations
Of false starts and unfinished endings
Of tears and laughter, memories
Pushing their way into our anger
Making it impossible to think clearly
We knew it wasn’t only ourselves
The children, his family, my family
No one would escape, no one would not suffer
Six months of trying to find answers
To repeating unanswerable questions
Six months of living hell
For us and everyone around us
And today, on national television
Doctor Phil says that divorce is the easy way out
