[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter is a high school senior and last weekend she had a group of friends over and they were all talking about whose parents are going to get divorced when they head to college.

They were able to point to three sets of parents that they know where the parents are staying together for the kids and completely miserable marriages. One kid was talking about how her parents have lived separate lives for four years and she just wishes they would divorce already instead of waiting for the artificial “youngest kid heads to college” because it makes her feel like her parents are unhappy for her.

My DD16 has a close friend like this. The dad "lives" in the basement of the home and the parents try not to spend much time together. They openly discuss with their kids (and the kids discuss with their friends) how they will separate when the youngest child graduates HS. It's a strange dynamic that it is so open. [/quote]

We know a family like this and the father is aspergers and they live parallel lives. He joins in the teen things when he feels he can handle it - watch a game, drive on the weekend, show up at a banquet. He only talks about work. At least he works! [/quote]
