It is looking as though my parents did the whole "keep it together for the kids" bit.

And I spent my teen years wishing they would divorce.

I would have rather spent alternate weekends with each one, rather than have both miserable parents in the same house.

My parents had their ups and downs, my dad even moved out a couple of times - amoxy Feb 6, 12:59
See? That's just it right there. People are acting as though the kids are stupid and won't be able to tell that there are issues. - Jim Feb 6, 12:57 4
- Yep. A situation like this isn't a mild case of untrusting or anger...it's gotta be close to a total collapse of the bond. - Will Hunting Feb 6, 13:00 2
  - I'm with you on this one... that situation is so extreme I don't think I could muscle through it. -- nm - loosilu Feb 6, 13:01 1
    - I don't think I could either -- nm - Roger More Feb 6, 13:01
- I remember my best friend telling me in middle school that her parents were divorcing. - kelly Feb 6, 12:59
