[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not specifically divorce that runs in families. Things like ADHD, ASD and depression. Learned behaviors like communication and emotional support. Religion, culture, views on the roles of the sexes and marriage. All of these contribute to healthy or poor relationships. Divorce is a symptom, not the cause. [/quote] This is true. There are several divorces in my family, including my parents. My parents both came from families with addiction, depression, and perhaps most significantly, parental and/or sibling estrangement in every. Single. Branch. I am estranged from one of my parents and one of my siblings, in order to save myself and my children from any exposure to their abuse. I hold on the my marriage as hard as I can and my marriage is a happy one. But I am super aware of how much easier creating and nurturing a new family (my husband and kids) if I had even one stable, committed, involved relative from my family of origin. [/quote]
