This weeks syndicated column: Wendy Davis, Mother and Future Governor An excerpt: [I]n a recent federal lawsuit over redistricting, Davis said she divorced at 19, but she was 21 when the divorce was final. As she has subsequently explained, she became a single mother sometime between 19 and 20. I was a single mother for a decade, and I understand how Davis could make the mistake. Divorce is an earthquake. When the foundation of your life splits open, you spend a lot of time trying to find even the smallest patch of hope to hang on to. For most mothers, the biggest difference between separation and divorce is that degree of uncertainty about your childrens future, too much of which is in the hands of strangers.
