Where's the fight?

I'm not a dedicated viewer of Jon & Kate + 8. I've watched the occasional episode here and there. But of course with all the recent press I decided to DVR last night's episode. Like most of America, I'm sad at the impending divorce. And watching that episode was so painful. I just listened to the lies that they are choosing to believe.

All I heard over and over last night was: "We're committed to doing the best thing for our kids." Well, FIGHT! Fight for the marriage. But today I was struck with something.

There are many many marriages dissolving just like the Gosselin's. People you know. People you love. And what I'm wondering is: Where the heck is the Gosselin's support system? And who's support system are you a part of?

Let's support each other. Let's love each other. Ask the hard questions when necessary. And fight for our marriages.

Here's one of the best posts I've seen on the Jon & Kate thing: Minivans are Hot
