"Popular Mechanics" by Raymond Carver - UGLY

"Get away, get away! she cried." This whole story is a very sad situation. To me, it is one of the saddest that can face any family. Divorce brings many hardships to the whole family, especially the children. Sometimes it shows weakness on part of one or both of the parents, but sometimes it's due to not thinking through marriage properly beforehand. Many different reasons infect marriages of today, and the easy allowance of divorce does not help this situation. Even worse, this situation has turned violent and outright hateful. Neither respects the other. They don't even communicate to each other directly. They fight over their child and don't try to find any common ground or compromise. It really scares me to see such a sad situation in life.
