- "My children" (when asked to complete the sentence, "The most important thing in my life is . . . ")
- I was so entirely invested in my family that when I lost husband, home, and children, there was literally nothing left! Of course, in hindsight, I wouldn't have known how to be anything other than 100% invested in my family. I never made time for me, or did anything on my own. I lost me - but I'm back!
- "I was the perfect little Catholic schoolgirl. I bought the program hook, line and sinker - big sinker! Marry the man of your dreams who will be a good provider for you and your many children. Be beautiful, have a beautiful home, beautiful children, be active in church and community, watch the kids grow, marry them off and be grandparents. I am not a scorekeeper - everything we did, we did as a couple. If we were poor, we were poor together. If we were rich, we were rich together. I viewed everything as "us," the good, the bad, or the ugly. Dan never seemed to have that view. "We" were poor, but "he" was rich. In the divorce, all the debts were 50% mine, but all the assets were 100% his. Nice arithmetic!" - when asked on how she led her life.
