One seldom discussed consequence of divorce is the intersectional trauma it causes.

My aunt left my uncle for his buddy when I was 9.

I didn't yet understand 'relatives-by-marriage' — he was just my uncle. Until one day when he wasn't.

Still fucks me up sometimes

Been there. Some of the relatives who treated me the best wisely divorced out of my terrible family. Never saw them again.
