Ginger – How has your relationship with your spouse or partner changed?

I could have not survived; I could not have gotten through the disability, the initial stages, without him. He was a rock, and a tremendous source of support. What unfortunately occurred was we’d had problems prior to my acquiring a spinal cord injury. But about two years after my injury, we decided that it would be best if we separated and got a divorce— which was really the best for both of us— and I think it was also the best for our children, in retrospect. And he has since remarried, we have remained friends. We did it, we did the divorce as simply as we could, and as amicably as we could. The accident was a catalyst, but I think we would have gotten divorced at some point.
