But Why?

Why?,  Can't we just coexist (as the bumper sticker goes).  Why do we react the way we do? What drives us, what is our motivation? When couples divorce what becomes the driving force behind the decisions that we make? In my experience the driving force is how miserable will this decision make my ex! What can I do to piss them off and how often can I do it? This is done at any cost, lets put the kids in the middle, lets lie to the kids and anyone else that can be unknowingly manipulated by whatever facts (or fiction) we can  made up.  Lets try and alienate one parent from their children, oh what the hell lets see if we can even get the kids to actually hate the other parent. I mean the sky is the limit, besides that SOB deserves it right? After all its all the other parents fault anyway.  Like sands through the hour glass, these are the stories of our crazy ex's. There is a personality disorder in here somewhere, so as we carry on with our stories please feel free to (diagnose, judge) try and pick out how many there are. Sorry there is no prize and definitely no winner (we’re all losers here – just ask your ex) only the satisfaction of playing (and of course being right).
