Why I Do This Work
My name is Lee Borden,
and I help people help each other survive divorce. I added this page to
explain why.
| My life has been almost freakishly free of divorce.
My wife Amanda and I have a 34 year marriage
that both of us describe independently as obnoxiously happy. My parents'
50+ year marriage ended in death. Amanda's parents' lengthy marriage ended
in death. Amanda's mother's lengthy second marriage ended
in death. All three of my brothers in the Borden
family are still in stable first marriages. Even our extended families are
remarkably free of divorce. In 1991 I met Hank
at Parisian where I worked, a couple of months after his marriage. We
became close friends. I listened with him, counseled with him, prayed with him,
and cried with him for the next four years or so as his marriage deteriorated
and eventually ended in divorce. It was my first exposure to the sheer brutality
of divorce. I resolved that there must be a better way. |

When Parisian eliminated my job in May of 1995, it
took me less than two months to hear a calling to help people who are going
through divorce. Each day I continue this work I am more confident that
this is where I need to be and this is what I need to be doing. Divorce is a scourge on our society. We must
find ways to make divorce either less frequent, or less painful, or both.
I applaud, affirm, and appreciate those who are working on the first goal.
I am called to the second. There's a separate page all about
why
I don't work to save marriages. I visit every day with people who are miserable. I help
them. I am happy. |
