Lisa Miller case

[temporal1]

.. an utterly mundane custody dispute ..

no such thing. “dispute” guarantees it.

i stand by my view.
vehicle collision fatalities are not rare, but no decent person would refer to them as mundane.
divorce is worse than death.

Lisa is free as of this afternoon! Thank you Lord!

Awesome. God bless her with the joy of freedom and the sense that her great sacrifice has been worth every effort.

Divorce is a kind of death. It is incredibly painful and difficult. I also found new life after the death of my previous marriage and my divorce probably saved my life.

I read Rod Dreher's reflections on his unfolding divorce over at his more personal/spiritual substack yesterday and the same message of death, pain and grief (and not a little relief) came through as well. It scared the daylights out of me in a way - who am I to think something like that couldn't happen to me? There but for the grace of God... It also put into focus the little ways that I do damage to my marriage, that while seemingly insignificant now, could have a cumulative effect years down the road.
