But if you noticed the clip on the screen following that - the printed text on the screen said, legal proceedings were initiated June 22, 2009 officially to dissolve the 10 year marriage. I think they have already started toward the divorce. If the legal proceedings were initiated, I don't think they are attempting to resolve this problem in their relationship. It saddens me to say the least. I have been a longtime viewer and I love the dynamic of the family. I applaud Kate for her organization skills and her character as a person. Say what you will - she can get a job done. And with that many kids, who can be complacent!? Anyway I was saddened to watch last night and read on the screen about the official proceedings... I think they are heading toward a divorce, but having been through it myself; I hate it for the kids and for them. They did say they were “separating” on camera.

She has the book career in motion now; they still have that for income. Jon needs a job or something to give him a purpose that will make him feel like he matters. So many people are so negative about Kate's controlling ways, but when you have that many people in a household someone has to be "aware" and keeping things on track. I'm amazed at how well the kids stay in order. They could always do an annual show, but they really need time out of the limelight to just "be."
