@UF@EDSecMcMahon I’m so embarrassed as a @UMich alum. I wish they would stand against racism and anti-semitism like Florida does. Florida will be a better academic school in the long-run.
This is a complete waste of taxpayer money and will obviously go well-over budget and timeline like all big government projects in urban cities. They should refurbish an older building for a fraction of the cost. This proposal is essentially theft from Fort Lauderdale residents who pay exorbitant property taxes already and get little in return.
Divorce means you lay a generational curse on your family until someone with more integrity comes along to stop the cycle.
Here are 10 uncomfortable truths about divorce:
1. Divorce, whatever the reason, is never to be celebrated.
It is always a multi-layered, multi-generational tragedy. It will affect your children no matter their age.
And it will affect your grandchildren. And your great-grandchildren.
It flows downhill.
2. A divorce will not lessen the fighting or strife in your life.
It does nothing but bundle your pain, multiply it by 10, and strap it to the backs of your children. They'll carry it with them for the rest of their lives.
3. Your children will put on a good face, and you'll be able to pretend everything is ok, that you "made the right decision." But they're not ok.
You forced them to take responsibility for your own selfishness and failure.
4. A divorce is a murder.
The husband and wife are "one flesh," and destroying it kills something that was alive and whole. Dismembering it.
You may think you are gaining your life back, but you are really losing it.
Your kids know the truth, however. They feel the death.
5. Divorce is contagious.
Be careful who your friends are. Be careful who your wife's friends are. A divorce in one group of friends can start a slow-motion chain reaction.
If you think it could never happen to you, you are the most vulnerable.
6. A divorce will go off like a bomb in a child's life, no matter his or her age.
Even if they are 30+ years old and out of the house, they will feel its ripple effects. It will weigh them down.
You can't contain the damage. Wisdom and maturity offer bandages but not immunity.
7. A divorce won't allow you to escape from a key source of your pain and problems.
Because wherever you go, there you still are. You can't escape yourself. The risk of divorce is much higher for someone who's already divorced once.
8. Divorce makes literally *everything* harder for your descendants. It will haunt them.
Children of divorced parents:
- have a 35-60% higher rate of divorce themselves
- are twice as likely to drop out of high school
- have a greater chance of living in poverty
9. Divorce also takes a hammer to the foundations of civilization.
The more divorce, the less stability.
The more divorce, the fewer men take on additional responsibility.
And the more divorce, the more divorce in the future. It makes the slope steeper and more slippery.
And the 10th truth, the most tragic one of them all...👇
