Nothing said about having another party to this divorce (ei: boyfriend or girlfriend). Typical response of too many males! She must have had a very powerful reason to leave with the uncertainty of future at 50+. She also has a disability. One more day with a bad tempered person could have just been the day that put her over the top. I agree marriage is very permanent committment but no one needs to live in hell on earth. 24 years is a darn good try. Caroline
