[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sigh. It's so sad and tiresome.  Even on a thread that literally asks for the adult child view of divorce, it's only a matter of time until people start telling ACOD they need therapy.  Just because we're willing to say the truth-- that being an ACOD is a pain.

OP, if you're still reading, here's the adult child view: It's a pain.  Try to make it less of a pain.[/quote]

💯 It will only not be a pain if you never get into another relationship, don’t place too many expectations on your children about visiting, don’t say bad things about your ex, and have enough money that you don’t need their assistance when you’re old.[/quote]

Well, I think an aging parent who is single can be more needy.  I think my ideal would be for my parents to date someone who is healthy, responsible, caring, minds their own business, isn't annoying, is fully vaccinated, and doesn't have annoying or problematic relatives that I'm expected to see.  And to have low expectations for my interest in that person's extended family.  And the relationship should only lead to marriage if it's financially wise to do so-- don't screw yourself out of Medicaid eligibility for long-term care.  [/quote]

while we are on the topic of ideals .... i would love to win the lottery too  :roll:
