[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents divorced when I was 12. At first, I had no idea why they were separating. My mom cheated my dad years before, had ended the affair when we moved, and continued to be unhappy. She didn't start another affair but did ask for a divorce. I found out about the affair because my father was SO mean during the divorce negotiations, including telling me about mom's affair and saying things like "I guess your mom just doesn't appreciate family life." I am the oldest of my siblings and witnessed a lot more active fights between them than my siblings did.

Frankly, I only lost respect for my dad in that situation. He behaved awfully during the divorce. I understand that he was hurt, but he really went out of his way to make it difficult for my mom. He paid very little in child support, despite her being the primary caregiver and (at the time) SAHM. The schedule he insisted on made it really difficult for her to build a career.  [/quote]

Good. She had it coming.[/quote]

So she didn’t work.  He earned all the $ AND she was banging dudes behind his back.

Great mom.  Great role model.

And your conclusion is that your dad sucks.  His bless who ever marries you.[/quote]
