My daughter’s on the other side of a nasty divorce and docs seem to have finally figured out the cause of her various health issues - psoriatic arthritis, which has many symptoms besides joint pain. Her kids are doing well and she has a fairly new boyfriend, who we like way more than the Ex. Son in Florida and family (wife and 2 little boys) are doing well.
