Aw Man. That sucks. Sorry to hear that. There are a few couples that I know that are getting divorces and they have been together for 20 + years. I think that's so sad. How horrible would it be to start over like that after so long?

My parents have been divorced since i was two, i am finding the generation coming up under the baby boomers (i fall into this as well) seem to be taking marriage a lot more seriously than our parents did perhaps because so many of us have experienced what divorce does to a family firsthand

That is a very good observation. It reminds me of something I have noticed around me a lot. I am seeing a lot more young fathers(with mother or alone) taking fuul responsibility for their children. I always figured (and they have said) that it's because they never had a dad around and didn't want their kids to grow up like that.

Its hard to go through stuff at that age because you know and remember whats going on and you think you understand it but you really don't.

Yup, my parents are still together and it is the fact that divorce is not allowed in my country...

Oh wow. What country are you from? If divorce was allowed, do you think your parents would still be together. The way you answered makes me think they wouldn't.

Congrats! Sometimes I used to wish that my parents would have gotten married(they never did) but now I know that wouldn't have been such a great idea.

That sucks. When I was six my moms new husband adopted me. I still remember going to court and the questions the judge asked about my dad. I was really sad at the time because I thought my dad didn't love me any more and that was why he was letting tis new guy adopt me.

My parents are still together. My hubby's parents are divorced when my hubby was less than 3 years old.

Yay for you. You are one of the lucky ones. I'm happy for you. Sorry to hear about your hubby's parents. At least he probably doesn't remember the divorce which can be such a hard thing for kids to go through.

That must have been hard to go through. 13 is such a confusing age the way it is.

Mine as well as my husband's are divorced. Going through high school I can honestly say I only had 1 friend who had parents that were still together.

My parents never got married. They seperated when I was also about two. I'm in the same boat of not ever knowing them together.
