Why Newt is gone.

In 1986 my my marriage came apart. When it did my liberal union steward Dad asked if I was "on the wrong side of the sheets". Once I told him no my family supported me. I was lucky-my family was about was about actual morality...I told Dad that it was more about my drinking and my ex-wife had reason. They kept their relationship with my ex and my children...

We all know Newt and he is garbage. You hold a hand and make a vow. My ex found my alcohol addiction untenable.

But this I know-She would never have divorced me for cancer and she would never have divorced me for a debilitating disease.

I'm just a worker drone but neither myself nor my worker drone ex-wife would ever divorce to "trade up". And that makes Newt scum.

At least, that's who's famous enough for me to remember as having had that name.

in the demise of your marriage. So rare to see anyone take responsibility these days. I hope you are now recovered and living a full and happy life.
