Help Me Raise My Son Better response by @beautifullife30

One mother had a question, and another offered a thoughtful response. A mother's work is never truly finished; we're always seeking ways to guide our children toward balance and responsibility.

What Is The Point Of Ending A Long-standing Relationship? response by @beautifullife30

At IL, we often find ourselves pondering the imponderables, like why people choose to end a long marriage.

As an aside, these general threads can be easier on the mind and heart than when an OP startes a thread on a similar real life situation.

This thread garnered many thoughtful responses, including one from @beautifullife30 , which earned a nomination from a rare visitor like @Laks09. The nominated post simply says, "When the hurt doesn't heal with time, this (divorce) is the final step you take to make peace with him/her and yourself." There's really nothing more to add. The fact of the matter is stated so concisely, with no judgement and no unnecessary embellishment.

I might find myself borrowing the observation "When the hurt doesn't heal with time ..." Borrow for when, ask the curious among the readers? I might start a thread that invites people to complete the sentence.
