NOTABLE QUOTES:

"Anytime there's a divorce, there are two people involved. That means two people are to blame. So accept your stuff, accept what you did wrong. Begin to work on those things so that you can get better because when you get better, when you begin to heal, then you can have better relationships going forward."

"Getting upset can't change this in any way. So, why get upset because getting upset only makes me feel bad. It doesn't make anybody else feel bad. It doesn't ruin anybody else's day. It ruins my day. So if getting upset doesn't change it. Why get upset? I'm not saying I gotta be happy about it, but. Getting upset just doesn't change it."

"It is cheaper to stay together and work on it than it is to get divorced."

"Create experiences for your kids that they can have one on one with you because long after they've forgotten about whatever trinket toy thing that you got them, they will forever remember the experiences that they had with you."
