[quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure if resent is the right word, but I acknowledge that the ongoing fighting and tension in their marriage impacted me horribly from my preteen years on. My mother had severe untreated anxiety and depression, so even if their marriage was otherwise perfect that alone would have been enough to give me a whole rack of issues. I KNOW they both thought that divorce was the worst thing they could do to us so they stuck it out. My mom always says "we had an agreement that we would stay married no matter what". Uhhh, ok. Thanks? I really can't say if things would have been better for us if they had actually divorced. Who knows.

I think they've made peace with their marriage. They are great grandparents and they socialize and travel together, but their interactions as a couple are not healthy. Their bickering still drives me crazy. They are good people as individuals and I know they both have regrets about how they raised us and wish they could do it over. I love them and forgive them, and as a married person and parent myself, I get it.[/quote]
