when love breaks down

I haven't followed Macca's divorce too closely, but obviously I've seen the headlines. I hope that, in spite of everything, he and Heather see their way to being friends for their daughter's sake.
But is it that easy? Marriage can be difficult even when things are going well! My parents divorced when I was in my mid-twenties, just as my daughter was being born. It was as though my Dad was going through a classic mid-life crisis when he left Mum for another woman.
Not easy in the years that have followed, Dad won't communicate with mum any more and I only found out he had married in 2000 after the event. We all somehow rumble along and I wish it was friendlier between everyone. Maybe it's true that you only get out of relationships what you put in.
