Coparenting in Captivity comic #8: The four-panel reality check nobody asked for. (mom’s point of view)

#8

The four-panel reality check nobody asked for. 😂

What you thought marriage would be: romantic bliss. What it was actually like: controlled chaos.

What you thought divorce would be: sad, but peaceful. What it was actually like: also controlled chaos. With lawyers.

Nobody enters a marriage expecting it to fall apart. And nobody entering a divorce expects it to look quite like this. But here we are — still figuring out pickup logistics, school forms, and who gets the dog on Christmas.

The chaos doesn't end. It just changes shape. And somehow you find a way to laugh about it.

Which expectation vs. reality hit hardest for you? 👇
