Still doesn’t explain the loss of the house. Did the creditors still get it? She did say theoretically they couldn’t touch her, not that they couldn’t touch her.
Also, without the truth, how can Jane keep the girls from wondering where dear old dad is? And from contacting him and even trying to move in with him if they all have a particularly bad fight.
mrpongs,
The loss of house was an indirect result of the divorce (the loss of her savings in the custody fight, the lack of income, etc.), not a court-ruled decision. She simply couldn’t keep up with the mortgage payments on her own. Also, as far as the girls knowing the truth, they do know part of the story but not the “whole story,” as Jane mentions. There are certain parts (her ex’s alcoholism, etc.) that the girls don’t need to know yet.

And now we know how she lost everything - she was trying to protect her kids from a slime-bag.

Why is she telling this story in a public place for and she hasn’t seen this guy in years. How does she know she can trust him?

Jane, would you please let that poor guy get his coffee?
(Why am I asking a cartoon character to do something?)

Sad that divorce could ever be “strictly for financial reasons”
Love that red hair! :-)
