[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I begged my parents to get divorced. I begged my mom not to go home at night, but to stay at her girlfriends' place. She didn't listen. I hate both of my parents.
Won't shed a  tear when they drop dead. They both love my sister and I dearly and have done a lot for us. 
They got divorced when I was in high school and my sister in college. 10 years too late.[/quote]

Jesus.  Why do you have so much hate for them when they love you and have done so much for you?[/quote]

NP. I also wished my parents divorced. They were fundamentally good people but very incompatible. They basically made each other miserable throughout my childhood. They are still making each other miserable except now they are too old to start over (late 70s).

Choosing to stay in a bad marriage is not a sacrifice I would ever expect from my parents. Nor is it something that I would ever thank them for.

The only thing that my sibling and I learned from our parents choosing to stay married at all costs is to be extremely commitment-phobic. Both of us were afraid of ending up stuck in a bad marriage like our parents. We also learned all kinds of bad relationship and communication practices from our parents. It took us both a long time before we figured out what a healthy relationship based on love and compatibility looked like.

This can and does happen in divorced “families” too.[/quote]
