I did have a bitter divorce and felt a lot of the same feelings that Lissa did towards her ex, Steve. But I don't know that I would have dated my best friend's ex-husband. It is a tough line to cross.Melissa Keirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10247037321769755660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-51234701993114598682012-04-19T06:03:03.903-04:002012-04-19T06:03:03.903-04:00Hi Melissa, congrats on your debut book, sounds wo...Hi Melissa, congrats on your debut book, sounds wonderful.

Being a romance writer, I like to share my hope for everyone having a happily ever after. Today I just found out another family (my second this year) is getting a divorce. It breaks my heart. <br /><br />The only story I heard today is that a child told me why he was telling another child that he was stalking him was on account of him only getting to go on 10 rides at Disney. He felt he needed more fun over break so he wanted the rest of us to be unhappy too.Melissa Keirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10247037321769755660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-2253781899263404642012-04-18T20:47:33.273-04:002012-04-18T20:47:33.273-04:00Congrats on your book.

I usually have a load going before I go to work in the morning! <br /><br />By the way, with it only being $1.99, buying the book won't hurt the pocketbook either!

I guess I would give up the house cleaning. In fact, that is what I've already pushed aside :) shhh... don't tell! Not really but we have a weekend schedule to keep my hubby and I on top of that. But to have more time, I'd easily give that up!Melissa Keirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10247037321769755660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-55326688510011968122012-04-18T18:29:40.744-04:002012-04-18T18:29:40.744-04:00Congratulations on your debut, Melissa!

You really think differently about yourself when your husband cheats on you. I decided that I would use the angst from my divorce and create a happily ever after story that would show that even after such a loss, you can find love again.Melissa Keirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10247037321769755660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-61853142009261525112012-04-18T12:08:54.918-04:002012-04-18T12:08:54.918-04:00Yes we do Aubrie.
