Let me tell you a little something about divorce. It's something I happen to know A GREAT DEAL ABOUT.
My parents divorced when I was 5 years old. My mother waited for my father to go to work, and called a moving company, took EVERYTHING within the house, including myself, and my dog Cleopatra, and went to her mother's house in Atlantic City. This was from Pennsylvania. My father came home, and his life was gone.
I spent the next 5-10 years of my life going in and out of courtrooms because my mother tried to milk my father for everything he had. And she almost succeeded. 25 years ago, my mother managed, through connections with a judge and my uncle, to get my father to pay $600 a month in child support and alamony. That's $150 a week, 25 years ago. My father did NOT make a lot of money in those days. He was lucky to bring home $6000 a year. The reason he was given for having to pay so much is because he remarried, and his new wife's salary was included in his "total worth". That's not allowed, or wasn't at the time. I don't know if it is now. It wasn't allowed, and it still happened.
Anyway, my mother spent the next 15 years of my life telling me how horrible my father was, and how horrible his family was, and so on.
She was selfish, and vindictive beyond imagination.
She once had my father arrested.
I took a steak knife out of the cupboard, and used it to try and build an igloo outside. It was obviously snowing.
I left the knife outside. When the snow thawed, my father found it, and tried to return it to my mother (because he recognized it). My mother called the police, and had him arrested for attempting to murder her.
My father is not the murdering type.
Anyway, I haven't talked to her for almost 10 years.
I'm not defending Charlie Sheen. If ANY of her allegations are true, then maybe he should be held accountable. I don't know.
I'm just trying to give you a good example of how divorce can change a person.
