The Other Point of View
Filed under: Relationship Lessons • Comments: NoneI was watching the Bonnie Hunt show a few days ago and a woman came on with a book called “Divorce Sucks.” The woman was so articulate and poised, probably the most of any person I had ever seen. I really liked the title of the book, it’s so true and to the point. I’ve never been divorced but I’m sure that it does suck. You have to go out and buy new tvs, desktop computers, pots and pans, and start life all over.
The author kept talking about her public divorce and I just couldn’t figure out who was her ex celebrity half. I didn’t recognize the name Mary Jo Eustace. Turns out the horrible monster that broke up with her while she was holding their newborn and wearing a bikini was Dean McDermott.
I had read Tori Spelling’s book and watched the show. The ex wife was painted as some kind of cynical, older woman. Mary was stunningly beautiful. I have heard Tori and Dean talk about being soul mates and I do think they make a cute couple. It was easy to paint Mary Jo as this villain who was trying to stand in the way of “true love”. I had never seen things from her perspective before but now that I have I don’t think I can watch anymore Tori & Dean shows.
