I know there must be a lot of people (at least half of us) who have this common . You may be a survivor because your parents are divorced or you children and you have lost a significant relationship with an inlaw.

come on down.

1. if you've survived TWICE does that confer special status?

4. it means you can double post all your answers

3. Is divorce life threatening now?

Should there be a telethon?

[Cheswick2.0]

5. to many people....yes it is

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

6. Ok

I guess if they're abusive it could be.

I think in many cases divorce is a great thing - life saving even.

7. I guess you can't speak for everyone

I am simply inviting people to a forum they might like to know about. You don't have a problem with that do you?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

12. no I don't

I'm a product of multiple divorces. Just thought the title was a bit morbid is all.

14. OIC

I didn't name the forum. I think those who might want to go there feel survivor is a pretty accurate word for how they feel.

I am glad that is not your experience.

8. perhaps you think "divorce veteran" would be a better forum name?

actually, if the forum is about all things related to divorce?
in that case, it would simply be a "divorce" forum.

this would then include questions from people going through the process currently.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

13. Yeah - that's it

I feel that in many cases divorce is a really good thing. The title as is implies something that's always a tragedy.

15. the mission statement was approved

maybe you should take it up with skinner?

9. Would this forum be open to survivors of same-sex relationship collapses?

[Cheswick2.0]

10. good question

That is not my decision. I didn't start the forum or write the mission statement. I don't know the answer to your question.

[Wat_Tyler]

11. Yeah, I suppose it's a grey area.

The same would go for common-law relationship collapses. I'll have to investigate.
