There's no good time to divorce, but there are two times I would identify as the most vulnerable times for the child. One is when you have a very young child, either a baby or a toddler. Children at that time need real continuity of physical care and some opportunity to attach to both parents. Unless it's unbearable, I think it would be better to wait.

Eventually reconnecting with the rest of his family, part two covers their homeless life in the months after the disaster, a 9/11 story rarely heard about. Rehr tells of bouncing from one temporary living arrangement to another while struggling to find out information on the state...
...gotta love Halloween at Harvard. I mean, it’s the only excuse for the otherwise tame female population to get dressed up like hos. Whereas Halloween used to be about kids disguising themselves as Batman and Wonder Boy to excite the toddler that lives across the street, now it’s about chicks disguising themselves as Naughty Nurse and Catholic School Girl to excite the toddler that lives in my pants. It’s the only annual slut-tacular celebration of skank not confined to the Owl Club...
