Lessons learned as a child ease pain of divorce (Opinion)

In a few days, I'll mark the fifth anniversary of the afternoon I watched my husband finally walk out of our family life after 17 years of marriage. This time, he wouldn't return to it. The kids were 10, 8, 5 and 3 when he left. So many folks over the years, both men and women, have shared their own similar stories of heartbreak with me. I suppose I could fill a book on the things I've learned from all this about life and people and being single with four kids.

Most importantly, from my point of view, is how my - and, to me, amazing - children have done with it all. I can't write their story yet. But I can tell a little piece of my own, in case it's helpful to anyone else.
