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...
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
Anita Hill Contacted by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas' Wife
Ok, everyone knows I'm a divorce attorney. And, I know how to set up a situation to make one party look bad. And, I'll admit when I'm wrong. And, I'll admit I'm not clairvoyant, and I don't have a crystal ball.
But, I do know how people act when a marriage is in trouble. And I see trouble in the Thomas' household.

Gays in Texas Denied the Right to Divorce
How frustrating would it be if you wanted a divorce, but the court said, "no"?
Well, that is exactly what is happening to a gay couple who married in Massachusettes but lives in Texas. They filed for a divorce in Texas, and the court refused to grant it because the court said it did not recognize their marriage in the first place.

Angry and Depressed Divorce Clients: Marion County, Illinois
A study published in the Family Journal of Psychology says that husbands who display anger can fuel and increase their wives' depression. See the article from MSNBC.com here.
This is why counseling is so very important when going through a divorce. Nearly all husbands and wives have fought and/or argued on a regular basis before separating. Nearly everyone who gets a divorce has unresolved anger and self-esteem issues. These unresolved issues are understandable when the person who promised to love you forever has now told you that you are unlovable, and unworthy of their attention.
Now combine that with the study above, and you have a recipe for the perfect need for counseling. A good attorney will tell you that counseling is vital during and after a divorce. Counseling will make you a better parent, a better relationship partner, a happier person, and a better client. In my experience, the client in counseling has less attorney's fees, as they are better able to cope with the stress of court, negotiation, and litigation processes like discovery.
