This American Life

Far too often, This American Life throws me into my head.

The episode from this past weekend (Fine Print) contained this vignette:

Act Four. May Be Hazardous To Children.

Susan Burton rereads her parents' divorce papers—the fine print that changed her life forever. (7 minutes)

Song: "D-I-V-O-R-C-E," Tammy Wynette

Listening to this woman describe reading her parents property separation agreement made me think about my own son, and...what divorce can do to a child and makes me feel like somewhat of a failure.

Maybe I should just start avoiding media entirely.
