[quote=Anonymous]My parents divorced when I was in college. Still affects me to this day. I feel like I don't have the same sense of safety and security that people from intact families have. Also, my father said to me when he was divorcing my mom that he would no longer be my dad - he was now my "adult friend." He no longer remembers saying that, but it turned out to be relatively true. Although I'd say I'm more of an adult acquaintance, tbh! Both parents are somewhat involved long-distance grandparents & love their grandkids & children, but I don't think either has any idea how little support/guidance/nurturing they provided post-divorce as parents to their children. Not sure that would have been any different had they stayed together, though. Love both of them and I do think they are better off apart from one another. They seemed pretty unhappy together. My father has been remarried since about 3 mos after the divorce was final. My mom's single. Both are content and no longer have rancor towards one another.[/quote]
