I looked up the official court records for my parents, Randall Gross & Linda Gross. What I found was a dry look at 12 years of a painful ongoing battle…. divorce, remarriage, divorce again (and that leaves out 4 unofficial breakups!), 2 restraining orders, domestic abuse conviction (not shown), continuous child custody battles, and official declarations from most family members, friends, neighbors, church members, church pastors.… read more “Most Acrimonious Divorce Ever- Randall & Linda Gross”
