[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems like the general consensus here is if you divorce, no family for you. I get divorce is awful, and it’s awful for all involved, not just the children, but how is it that you should then be doomed to a life of solitude? Marriage and family are normal desires, and those that are divorced still have normal human desires.

If you are able to navigate a blended family in a reasonable, responsible, mature way, I think it can work. We only live once, one shouldn’t deprive themselves of happiness because of a past error. [/quote]

A past error? You mean marrying someone, making a life with them, making multiple babies with them-is an error? That’s a whole lot of choices made over the course of many years-weird to call it an error.

How is anyone saying if you get divorced, no family for you? Families take all shapes. Your children are your family. Your parents are your family. Many people have friends they consider family. You can even have a partner who you spend time with and share your life with when you don’t have your children (like when they are with your ex). All of that is having a family. [/quote]
