[quote=Anonymous]My parents divorced when I was 16.  I wasn't expecting it, but I don't think my childhood was a lie or anything-- I think they tried very hard to make it work and spared us having to listen to their fighting in front of us.  I think that's better than being a young child in a joint custody arrangement.

I would say I've "come to terms with it" in that I'm not angry or upset about it.  But their subsequent marriages have not been any happier, and financially it hasn't been good for either of them.  So I do kind of wonder if it was worth it.  They have less time with their grandchildren because I have to split visits 50/50, and that really bothers my mom.  And they definitely have less financial security, which they've been kind of putting off thinking about, but I can see that the denial is starting to break.  I think my mom is going to have to leave her boyfriend because he has even less money than she does, and she can't afford assisted living for both of them.[/quote]
