It's All About Perspective - Bad Week for Clarence Thomas

I have said it before - as a divorce attorney, I can just "sense" when things aren't right between two people.  Maybe it's because I've grown cynical in my job.  Maybe I'm just one of those "wacky" people who just "senses" things.  (Yeah, it's all right - I've been called weird plenty of times before.)  But, it's all about your perspective...

For Clarence Thomas, as for most people going through a tough time at home, when it rains, it pours.  And, Clarence appears to be in the middle of a monsoon, typhoon, tsunami, hurricane, and a few tornadoes this week.

First,  his wife calls Anita Hill.  Then, his "ex-girlfriend" decides to come from behind the curtains, and tell the world about their five-year affair, as well as his affinity for big-breasted women and pornography.  Now, the media reports that his nephew has tried to commit suicide, and had to be restrained and tasered during his hospital admission.

This is why I tell clients that it's all about perspective.  Always remember that when things go bad, it can always get worse.  Just be thankful you're not a U.S. Supreme Court Justice in the middle of a family melt-down, and the media's current victim focal point.
