So I guess someone could say that I was divorced from reality. They are more likely to be unemployed, underemployed, disabled, and divorced, and they earn less than their healthy peers.

However, the 'inevitable' results of divorce can be reinvented. Copies of divorce settlements, income from spousal and child support payments, monthly investment statements, and bank statements covering the last three months are additional forms of income verification necessary to apply for a mortgage.

There are more divorces, more abuses, more abandonment, more unemployed, more drug and alcohol addictions, more crime, and less godly training in the home.

Dad divorced for over 30 years, surrounded by his five adult children, demonstrated bravery in facing his mortality that moved beyond textbook explanation. Either repossession, estate with an out of town heir, divorce, bankruptcy, illness or some other sort of motivation is necessary.
