So the moment our youngest left for college, I did the one thing I’d been threatening, and praying for the courage to do. I handed him divorce papers… and chose myself. And for the first time in a long time? I can finally breathe. ROURKE I came home from a golf trip expecting everything to be exactly the same. Instead, my wife handed me divorce papers and walked out like I was nothing. I thought she was overreacting. I thought I could fix it like I always do. Throw money at the problem.
