When BM moved to Fabuloustown and began crafting her new persona and alternate reality, 15 years ago...she was quick to mark her territory by making BFFs with all the twins' friends' moms. Most of them believed the version of DH and me that she presented them with. I remember being completely blanked by the moms in twins' friend group on the day of their middle school walkthrough. I found out yesterday that the meanest mom- the one I still remember staring at me hatefully that day, has since gotten divorced from her kids' dad. Also that in the divorce, those parents wiped their accounts clean and their eldest couldn't return to college this year. The twins' friend (middle child) didn't go either because his mother convinced him that his job was to stay home and take care of her. A few weeks ago, the dad almost strangled him and this poor child is now couch-hopping because he doesn't feel safe living with either of his parents.

So many of the twins' friends' parents have now gotten divorced. It's just really sad and ironic.
