Many of the points you make also apply to single women without children. In fact, this paragraph should be required reading for all single women: "When you find yourself getting sad this holiday season, take a reality check and remind yourself what life was like when you were married to someone who was so wrong for you. In your head, you may think you miss your ex. But what you really miss is the IDEA of having the perfect spouse and the white-picket-fence family. You’re sad because that dream is gone, not because the ex isn’t around anymore." Terrific article, Lynn. Many of the points you make also apply to single women without children.
