I recently had the pleasure of hearing New York Times Op-Ed columnist David Brooks speak in Silicon Valley as part of the Celebrity Forum Speaker Series. Let me just say – I was shocked at some of the things David Brooks said about divorce.

My son came down with a fever this past weekend. Stuffy nose, tired, achy. He had a mixture of cold and flu symptoms. No fun for him, at all.

No, it wasn’t that sort of hookup. We ate lunch, hit the beach, ate chocolate. (Though, judging by the way some women react to chocolate, maybe it [...]
I recently celebrated a birthday, and due to pre-scheduled activities involving our kids, my ex and I were in the same place for much of the day, then together even longer despite my desire for birthday time alone with my kids. The experience reminded me that things aren’t always normal after divorce, especially if you [...]
