Are your parents divorced
I was talking to a friend of mine today that said how it was fairly uncommon that my parents were still together after 30 years. I never thought it was _that_ strange at all.
Are you parents still together? Last edited by .muffy.; Oct 07, 04 at 04:59 AM. |

dude, I can see your point but there is always a larger picture. For example, husband and wife stick it out in a marriage they aren;t happy in for the sake of their children. They fight all the time and don't show true loving affection towards one another. they are unhappy all time and indirectly take it out on their children. the children then see mommy and daddy acting this way and learn about marriage and love through their parents actions. Since the marriage isn't healthy, the kids learn an unhealthy image about love and marriage. They then take this image away into their own lives and repeat the pattern. It's all about following your heart, and doing whats right for you. In my case. My mother knew my father wasn't meant for her after about 2 years into the marriage. But she already, had 2 young children, and she really did love my father...so stuck it till we were a lot older...and they my parents got a divorce. In all honesty, I know my parents better now then I did when they were a couple. Divorce ain't so bad, yo! |

You are so right. I'm so mad at my mum for leaving my drunk and abusive father. What a selfish bitch. Clearly my brother and I are more fucked up from living in the warm, safe and stable home she made for us on her own instead of watching her get beaten up. Be careful who you marry, ture. However, sometimes people change. It may take years and you can't always see it coming. ps. not every child that comes out of divorce is fucked up. I know just as many messed up kids that come from parents that are still together. |

Still together there were a few tough moments, but it was mostly stress from when we owned our own family restaurant.
Still going strong. but wow even in this thread alone li ke 80% of the replies the parents are divorced... thats not cool. |

My parents were divorced when I was 5. Best thing they could have done. It's not necessarily healthy for kids to have to deal with their parents getting divorced, but on the other hand, years of witnessing their parents screaming and yelling at each other is definitely more emotionally damaging. |

I don't think being together really counts. How many parents are married, happy and still love eachother?
I have a bunch of friends that have married parents. That dones't mean they still sleep in the same room or live in the same house. |

Mine have been together for 28 years as of November 13th, and I hope that when I get married my relationship with my husband is as strong as theirs is. They've been through alot of shit, and in the last few years there's been times that I didn't know if they would make it. But they did, and I'm proud of them and of the fact that they are that strong and love each other that much.
Don't tell them I said so, but they are pretty cool people. :) |
