Very Disappointing

After class tonight I rushed.... and I mean rushed....home to watch the new Jon & Kate + 8 episode. After the previews I was preparing myself.... I knew what they would say.

I will admit that I'm an avid watcher..... have been since the first documentaries of them and into the first season. I've read their book and have enjoyed watching the family grow over the years. In today's world, it's rare to see a marriage make it past 3-5 years. So, when you come across a couple that is making it work- you can't help but find yourself cheering them on!

So.... I will admit that I cried like a baby during the entire show ! ! !

It makes me so sad to see how their family has fallen apart. Many of my family and friends are on Kate's side. I lean a bit more towards Jon's side... but I definitely can see both viewpoints.

In the end I will miss the family dynamics that have captivated me for so long. Regardless of how hard they try, the show-- and their lives--- will never be the same. In my opinion.... it's just my feelings and I'm entitled to them......... the Gosselin's should end the show and focus on their relationship with their kids and themselves--even if it's only a friendship. It's time to let the show go-- the magic that was there before is gone. Now it's only akwardness, gossip magazine drama, and heartbreaking to watch.

Having been through 2 divorces and one adoption by my 6th birthday..... I know how the kids feel. I was the age of the young kids when my parents divorced.... and not matter how young you are- you remember!

To the Gosselin family - I wish you nothing but the best!

I definitely agree...I was actually down when I went to bed because of this and woke up realizing that I must've been dwelling on their sadness.

I hate it for the kids.

I'm glad I'm not the only one! =)
I really, really hate it for the kids..... and Kate was the one who had me crying -- especially when she was saying that she didn't want to be alone!

The divorce is not final yet-- so I'm still holding out an little hope that they will come to their senses!
