It's one thing to see the word divorce written across a speculative headline, but it's another to hear it come from the lips of a couple who made a commitment to each other 10 years ago believing it would be forever. Jon and Kate Gosselin got married young, started a family with their twin daughters, Mady and Cara, 8 and then welcomed a super sized addition with the miraculous births of their sextuplets — Aaden, Collin, Joel, Alexis, Hannah and Leah, 5. Despite renewing their vows in Hawaii last Summer and reassuring their kiddos that they would stay together, the parents announced their split during tonight's raw episode of Jon and Kate Plus 8.

Mommy Dearest,
I am at a crossroads trying to explain the aftermath of a divorce to my eight-year-old son. Though his daddy and I are happily married, his best friend's parents are splitting and each side is showering their child with gifts big and small. From ice cream cones to new skateboards, the third grader is getting everything except the sun and the moon.

Dear Sugar,
I've been separated from my husband of 11 years for nine months. In the new year I started dabbling with dating. I met with few men for coffee, drinks, and dinner, but none took my fancy until now.

For the past two years, I've worked with a guy that I've been attracted to, but who is married. I never acted on my crush because of his relationship status, and he never tried anything with me because he's always been faithful and loyal to his wife, but I just found out that his wife left him a few weeks ago. Obviously it's too soon to pursue anything, but how long should I wait until I tell him I'm interested?

On yesterday's Oprah, Suze Orman offered up some harsh advice to those struggling financially. One couple was in such dire straights that they actually had to ask if they could afford their divorce. Suze "approved them," told them they could in fact afford it, but it got me thinking about what their lives would be like if they didn't have enough money to separate.

Dear Sugar,
I am 37 yrs old, have been married for 15 years and have two children with my husband. My problem is that I haven't been in love with him for years. I have told him that we need to divorce — I left him for a year, but came back due to financial reasons — but he keeps telling me that he loves me and begs me not to leave him.

On July 18, 2008, Dwayne Frederick Brown took his young children for a routine visit and never returned them home. Their mother, Grace Bjarnson, spent eight months searching for her son, Daniel, 4, and daughter, Noel, 3, and was recently reunited with them in Pennsylvania after Brown was caught trying to cross the Canadian border with the tots. Believing that the children's father has mental issues, Bjarnson says she hopes he gets help so he can reconnect with his kids.

Divorce is common in today's society, but due to the recent economy some parting parents are forced to stay under the same roof and continue to raise their children. The unusual living arrangement has its perks since both mom and dad continue to have ample time with their offspring, but it also can be awkward when one or both parties start dating. Would you be able to survive this type of situation?

Dear Sugar,
I have been married for over 20 years to a man 16 years older than me. I've grown out of love with him, but I'm afraid to tell him that I want a divorce. I know that this marriage is over; actually, it's been over for a long time now, but I've been sacrificing my needs to protect my family.
