| 0:00.0 | Am I the jerk for initiating a divorce while my wife is in the hospital after a car accident? |
| 0:05.9 | My wife had two kids before we got married and they haven't actively involved father. |
| 0:10.7 | We have had two children of our own. My wife is a terrible driver, but she refuses to acknowledge this. She's been in multiple accidents and even had her license suspended. Not for a DUI or anything, just because she's a trashy driver. She'll do stuff |
| 0:26.0 | like reach into the back seat to deal with a kid rather than either pull over or let me or one of the |
| 0:31.6 | older kids deal with her. |

| 1:16.7 | and I would make it part of our divorce that she not be allowed to drive with my kids in the car. |
| 1:22.1 | She started crying and said she didn't do it on purpose. |
| 1:24.9 | I asked her how exactly she took her hands off the wheel, took off her seat belt, took her foot off the |
| 1:30.8 | brake and turned around to pick up the soother by accident. |
| 1:34.8 | She said that I'm treating her like an idiot. |
| 1:37.0 | I don't think I am. My children have to be safe. |
