Dear Carolyn: What do you think a divorced woman should tell a grown daughter about what set the divorce in motion?
This is in reference to your column where the woman left her husband because, A year ago, he told me he didnt love me and there was no chance he would change his mind. Anonymous
Anonymous: I believe in the truth, without extra detail and with the most possible grace: Your father told me he didnt love me anymore, so there was no marriage for me to stay in. I cant speak for him, but Im guessing its not how either of us thought this would go.
Re: Divorce: I think it would be fine to tell an adult daughter why the marriage ended. I wouldnt get into nitty-gritty, but if she is an adult and is pressuring her other parent, I think it is fair to be open without saying anything negative about the husband, just factual.
