The Way You Lie
Glenn
If Glenn is following the pattern of departure he used when he left his first wife, then he is probably expressing to the world that he and his ex-wife spoke of separation and divorce for quite some time. That he was in a loveless marriage for quite a while, and that our divorce is just a natural consequence of that.
His script probably has had him telling his mistress and family that his ex-wife was delaying the divorce because she didn't want to give up his benefits and money. That she was being unreasonable in her demands; that he had made many good offers that were turned down, so he was just hanging in there; letting the matter work its way through the courts. Glenn's script probably required that all acquired wealth be lost, all manner of dignity be tossed to the wind, and all the possible time he could muster be placed between the time of his adultery to the final dissolution of marriage. That allowed everyone to be convinced that he was a victim, that his ex-wife was unreasonable and vindictive; and that his new love was truly all that he really dreamed of.
Such that now, after a contentious divorce allowed more than two years for everyone to get used to this idea, he can speak easy and just say, the divorce finally got settled. That his ex-wife is finally satisfied, without any personal accountability or reflection. And without reflection, how do we grow? Yes, it is all just history now. Unchangeable.
Glenn can move on now without the burden of explaining to friends and coworkers the process whereby he left his wife; and left her and two sons homeless. Time and distance may now allow him to overlook some of the facts or present them in his 'doublespeak' way. He may even portray his ex-wife as an unreasonable, bitter, demanding, financially irresponsible, unloving woman.
Well, I happen to know Glenn's ex-wife; and she has been an idiot at times, no doubt. But I hope that the view presented in the Anatomy of My Divorce is an OVERVIEW. That the presentation of court documents, letters, and pictures will allow everyone who visits this site to seek the truth that lies somewhere between Glenn's version of the Anatomy of My Divorce and that of his ex-wife.
And even more than that, I hope the Anatomy of My Divorce will inspire each of us to grow, to be more than the sum of our experiences.
I hope the pages of the Anatomy of My Divorce offer strength, empathy, acknowledgment and insight to others who may find themselves going through a similar journey.
And to inspire each of us to reach for ALL that is good, decent and Holy within ourselves. For others sake as well as our own.
SO... here is where the Anatomy of My Divorce begins........
I wrote this letter to glenn in early December of 2009 and left it for him at the hangar. He later he confirmed he had received it; it had the two lovely pictures of Dena attached. However, I believe his comment was that it was too long to bother to digest.
