What a complicated situation, both for your mom AND your dad.
She'd always taken glee in this story. Always seemed sneaky to me. Fine for Harry, but what about his wife? This especially struck me, because while your mom identified with Harry in that scenario... your dad was much closer to being in the wife's position, and it really wasn't entirely fair. Even though your mom was clear with him about her limitations, where there is love, there will always be hope.
It's clear that your mom got the family she always wanted, and I hope that for both your parents, divorcing gave them a second chance to find the lasting love they both deserved.
