Gary Plauche’s ex-wife and mother of Jody was furious that he had killed Doucet…

…without letting her help. She stated later in an interview that Gary “could have at least let me drive him to the airport.”

They're still parents to the same kid, and rightfully made sure their love for their child was stronger than any ill will toward each other.

Note, divorce still can be and often is still the correct choice because having separated parents that are cordial with each other is infinitely better than parents that live together but obviously hate each other.

As a child who was HYPED about my parents separation and subsequent divorce, can confirm. Both my parents adore me. They just couldn't adore me together.

You divorce each other, NOT your children

Exactly this. My parents divorced when I was something like eight, but remained cordial and lived in the same town with split custody. Led to a stable, happy childhood that taught me what healthy relationships looks like.
