Because they’re two grown adults who have the ability to make their own marriage choices but I don’t see quite the same energy directed toward the kids caught in the middle of the situation who are the real victims so to speak. While people, like yourself, are commenting as if she’s a child incapable of making her own decisions but are the same ones talking about how we’re supposed to be so empowered as women and responsible mothers. So it’s ok to send the message to her daughter that you can be fat, hopeless and depressed, unhappy for 20 yrs, in a thankless marriage (to let y’all tell it), waste your time, ‘feel sorry for me’ mentality, instead of rising above the circumstances. Huge disconnect here.
