The Absence of

Preface: I have long believed that placing words on paper dilutes anger and

frustration from most issues. Before, during and after the divorce, my anger/

frustration was not directed at my ex-husband per se, but at his total disregard

of the opportunity to participate in the lives of our children. The ramifications

of his indifference, regardless of reasons, scarred those involved much more

deeply than he could have imagined. Not that it would have mattered to him.

This is why I wrote. This is why I continue to write.
