Lovely quilt. Good for your friend, tell her to hang in there, things will get better for her. Thank you for being there for your friend I have not experienced your friends situation myself, but I have to a degree through my brother whose wife of 15 years left him and his 13 year old daughter while they were visiting relatives, she didn't want to go with them. Upon return they were shocked (and truly had no idea) to discover she had filed for Divorce, moved out and had a restraining order placed against him, plus she had drained all of their monetary accounts which was in the 6 figure ranges and he could not use his checking account for deposits until after the divorce, because judge had declared anything he put in she had full access to. Thank goodness she could not get the house, it was owned and paid for before the marriage. We live in a community property state, what one owns before a marriage, the spouse has no claim to, so he and daughter did have a home to live in. He found out later that she had planned this for about 2 years. It took him several years to partially get back on his feet financially, he was self employed, so his monetary holdings were to help him get through retirement. He did get full custody of daughter, and wife had to pay child support, Ex- wife didn't seem to care she lived 12 miles away and didn't see daughter for over a year- really traumatic for the daughter. This was in 1999. Ex wife is currently married to to her 4th husband. I know you didn't ask for examples, but she needs to rebuild her life, it will take time, but she will recover.
