“The notion of divorce has become one of failure again,” said Ms. Morrison, 42, a resident of Park Slope. “It used to be, ‘You’re free, rock on!’ Now it’s, ‘You couldn’t make it work, you failed.’ ” Ms. Morrison described people’s reaction as “the two-second blink” when she says something along the lines of, “Zack is with his father today.”
Apparently, the divorce rate has parked itself at 30%. I never liked it at 50% and sometimes the world around me seems dishearteningly 70% . Divorced people don’t crave more P.L.U.S (people like us) – we crave to see good and solid unions. We don’t snicker when another marriage bites the dust, we gasp as shocked if not more shocked and saddened than the marrieds.
