They Trusted Each Other but Still Chose a Consent Order
People kept telling us we were doing it the right way. "Amicable," they'd say, nodding like it was some rare achievement. And I suppose it was.

No solicitor's letters that made my stomach drop when I found them on the mat. We'd sat at the dining room table, the same table where we'd eaten a thousand dinners with the kids, and we'd talked. Calmly. Honestly. With a pot of tea between us.
