[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents split just after 25th anniversary, when I was a junior in h.s., my older sister was in college.

They barely speak, it's super awkward.  I hate hate hate being in the same room when they are in same room.  Classic scenario where mom hates that bitch my dad is dating (in fairness, she is a about the worst human I have ever met).

It sucks, but when you have kids of your own, its easier to cut them all out of your life and focus on your own family.  Honestly, if they got along, I wouldn't really care about the extra hassle.[/quote]

I hear you, but it's not just the hassle.  It's that I'm not able to be as good a caregiver for them as I'd like to.  I know it's the result of their own choices (not just the divorce but in moving out of state), but when they're both sick and I have to choose which one to go to, it's pretty hard.  It's financially tough on me as well, and it's really taken a toll on my work and my own marriage as well.  It's more than just hassle.  And if they got along, these things would still be true.[/quote]
