re: Divorce can bring out the worst in people and get pretty nasty

I have a co-worker who went through a horrible, public divorce. Both sides acted horribly and especially when it came to the custody agreements. For years they went back and forth to court over any perceived slight or infraction. Never once did they consider the children's needs, it was always their first.

A few months after the youngest son turned 18 he informed both of them that he had received a vasectomy and would never have a child. Because of the shitty way his parents were he said he would never put anyone through it. He also told both parents he never wanted to see either of them again. He moved out west and went to work. That was probably 4 years ago and they still have not reconciled. I doubt they ever will.
