Once the kids are out of the house - then they seem to do better if their parents divorce.

Don’t you believe it.
I worked at a college counseling center.
We used to call it the annual Thanksgiving Day Massacre.
Freshman the youngest child, goes home for Thanksgiving.
Mom and Dad inform the freshman that they are divorcing and selling the homestead.
Kid comes back to college devastated, lost family and family home and is very displaced. Usually loses the rest of the year pulling himself together.
“We used to call it the annual Thanksgiving Day Massacre.”
Lol. Only other time I’ve heard that was in Iraq Thanksgiving, 2004 on Route Irish, between the IZ and Camp Victory. I was waiting in my Mitsubishi truck outside 3 BCT for the supervisor to come out in his F250 uparmored. I got the willies. I told my co worker and two military guys in the back “we gotta go. We gotta go NOW” “The Thanksgiving Day Massacre has a bad sound to it”. About 10 sec.s later I hear wump, wump off to the left, behind 3 BCT compound. A few seconds later BAAAM, a rocket impacts just over the wall, inside the 3 BCT compound. The truck gets showered with debris. My driver window is open, with 3 BCT on my left. 1’ degree more on the rocket elev. and we’d have been toast. It hit perpendicular to us on the other side of the wall.
True story.
Weirder still: 3 BCT compound became the new US Embassy compound. So in Nov. 2014 I was at the US Embassy to do counter-ISIS support. 2nd week there I’m on the phone with my co-worker back here telling how at indoc. they said no rounds had impacted in 2 years. While I’m on the VoSIP the alarm sounds and woomp, woomp, bam ...rocket impacts. One impacted almost the exact same spot I encountered 10 years prior! Hard to believe but it happened.
So I tell ppl the rockets are shot from pipes in the wall of the mosque at the Point of Launch. Yes, the point of launch is a mosque on an island in the river, south of the Embassy. A rather notorious mosque. Probably a wedding ceremony or something.
