“I don’t like to carry hate it my heart. I think that is very different than having respect — I was one of those who wanted to do this collaboratively. I don’t know which divorce can be that collaborative. When I got married I didn’t get married to get divorced and there is a lot of things I was trying to convince myself were OK along the way, and it just was too much after a while. This is definitely not out of the middle of nowhere. This is something that has been quite the struggle.”
