Run, Todd, run!! As fast as your feet can carry you and for as far as the eye can see. It's not like he was being held captive or didn't share her fundamental beliefs?

Has he become a Democrat? i have no idea what happened between them. who knows what goes on behind closed doors? we know them from what we see on tv. apparently they met when they were in high school and have been together since. maybe they just grew apart. who we were at 18 is often times not who we are at 40 or 50. maybe there isn't a sensational story behind the split. maybe they just grew apart. so if you don't want to run, Todd, walk quickly at least. again, tongue in cheek.

I find it interesting so many people are cheering or making fun of a divorce in today's society. it is sad. i feel sorry for anyone, any family going through divorce. it is painful. hurts everyone involved especially after so many years of marriage. the poor boy in this situation as well.

I am sorry but I felt nothing but joy following my divorce. It was the first time in a very long time I felt like I could breathe without a noose around my neck. And I believe my children were better off.

Amen. As a child whose parents SHOULD HAVE divorced, but didn't, nothing magical about staying together in enmity and acrimony. Give me peace over staying together for the sake of appearances, any day.

I am no fan of Sarah Palin. Still, I hope this transition is as easy & painless as possible.

Give me peace over staying together for the sake of appearances, any day. I am a child whose parents tried to stay together for the kids. What a farce that was. Everyone was miserable. But my mom was the kind who didn't believe in divorce. She was old school and Catholic like that. She believed in appearance and perception. She said she would rather suffer through a bad marriage than to deal with the "shame and failure" of the divorce. My dad was made to feel he couldn't be a good father if he wasn't living in the home. Everyone was miserable. We practically begged our parents to divorce and They finally did. After the divorce, my mom thrived. She made friends. She traveled with those friends around the world. She was involved in her church. She volunteered serving food to the homeless. None of this she would have done had she stayed in the bad marriage. For the record, it wasn't an abusive marriage. They were just very different people and what brought them together would not have sustained them in their later years. My dad must have had lingering memories of trying to stay together. On my wedding day, he said to me, "never stay where you don't want to be". No worries about that. I've been happily married for almost 30 years. That's longer than my parents were.

I don't wish bad on anyone but I really thought they had divorced years ago for sins reason. I think she would be very hard to live with.

Married as far as possible from the dictates of the Catholic church I grew up w. And yet, magically, here DH and I sit. Together - because we WANT to be, not because some priest came over to our house and counseled us to stay together "for the kids" bs (yes, really happened). Amazing, right?

NOPE to all of it. my marriage opened my eyes to the reasons why my parent's marriage did not work out. if anything was a godsend, it was divorce being an option for both of them. it gave them a new path. it set them free. it set us all free. so yeah, no one will ever be able to convince me that divorce is a bad thing.

Your dad sounds like my dad too. Makes me miss my dad. He was very no nonsense about life.

I find it very interesting that people assume that God blesses all marriages and curses all divorce.

Being denied to marry the person you love is also sad and painful. Supposedly all sins are equal, no? So why isn't Sarah Palin speaking out against divorce, instead of getting divorced, herself? Hypocrisy, that's why. I don't feel sorry for them, at all. (Not that I am against divorce, obvious, I hope)

Sarah Palin has head to court to file her official response to estranged husband Todd’s divorce. According to court documents obtained by The Blast, Sarah filed her answer to the divorce petition on September 20. Sarah then filed a counterclaim against Todd Palin, meaning she does not agree with him on all issues in the divorce.The entire court record has been sealed by Sarah and Todd, who jointly agreed to keep the case from the public. www.yahoo.com/entertainment/sarah-palin-moves-divorce-forward-141024609.html
