I can believe that. It must be extremely difficult. I know the divorce rate for parents of children who die for any reason or are severely disabled is also very high. Especially when the parents grieve in different ways, as I understand it from reading about it.

One of my closest and oldest friends is a quadriplegic, he got married about 7 years ago (he became paralyzed about 25 years ago). They are doing great.

Had a real pleasant surprise the last time we met for lunch. I expected him to arrive in a van with a driver (I used to drive him in college, flipped him over a couple of times when we had been drinking), and he drives up in a mini-van that they rigged him so he could drive himself. He had a huge grin on his face.
