Divorced but Living Together under One Roof: The Fallout of the Economic Crisis

There is a new phenomenon going on in America. The economy is forcing divorced partners to continue living together. This arrangement is confusing s, friends as well as children. But when the partners can not sell the home and make it on their own, they are forced to living under the same roof.

The economy is keeping married couples together. If anything, that is a good thing. How about working things out? Our grandparents worked it out. Why not us?

Has divorce been too easy to get into lately? The economy or money or lack of it is fixing things up.

What do you think?

Open Letters to Santa Claus in a Bad Economy: Many Will Be Left Unopened, What Are Parents to Do?

The nationwide credit crunch, foreclosures and wiping out of fortunes seems to claim new victims day after day. Children will go without receiving foods, toys and a blanket to keep them warm this holiday season.

In letters sent to Santa Claus, many kids write about their reality in these tough economic times. No matter what, they still have faith in the North Pole. In those letters, they write about their parents' layoff, lost jobs, home foreclosures, friends who move away from their school and neighborhoods, the lack of foods, the lack of money to pay rent and heating bills etc.

So far, the post offices across the country have been able to display some of these letters so that Good Samaritan may help. A friend of mine and I went down to our local post office to look at some of these letters. After reading a few ones, each one of us picked one letter so that we can discreetly contact the parents to make a gesture.

I will invite you to do the same today. There are many kids who want your help.
