[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No resentment on my side but they pretty much despised each other by the end and my mother blames us kids for how her life turned out.  [/quote]

This was my situation as well.  Every chance she got, my mother would tell us that we were the reason she stayed.  We knew she was unhappy and we grew up with the guilt of thinking that WE were the impediment to her happiness and her dreams.  Meanwhile, we learned that our father was willing to give her a divorce if she really wanted it but he was willing to allow us to be her scapegoat and allow her to play the martyr with us.  So...yea we had issues because of that also.  Truth is that she was too afraid to leave but was quick to use us as the reason.    To this day, it is still a bad dynamic.  My parents eventually divorced and I am the only sibling who talks regularly with my mom - she lives in our hometown.  We all see and talk to our dad as he lives not too far away and he really is trying to make amends.[/quote]
