2. Anyone know what’s wrong with him ?

3. It must be serious for her to say this.

   I hope she and the kids can get through how this effects them with support, grace, and love.

4. I don’t wish him any ill will, but he was also horrible to her after their divorce. It’s one of my token fun facts – Kelly Clarkson’s ex husband quit his job and moved to a ranch as a ploy to get spousal support.

5. I knew there were something going on when she left her show briefly because of personal reasons, but I did not think it would have to do with her ex-husband. I wonder what’s up with him.

6. The kids come first.

7. Has been three what?

8. It takes a very special person to be this mature after the things he put her through. I’m glad she’s putting her kids wellbeing first.

9. She’s such a good mom. He wouldn’t have done this for her

10. Didn’t they get divorced because he would say mean things to her about her weight and he took a ton of her money and either spent it or hid it.

11. I don’t want to be a dick, but does she want to / able to do a residency? Every post I read about it (other than bringing her daughter on stage) is about postponing of cancelling shows

12. Why tf would she get a residency?

13. Hope she has stopped hitting her kids
