[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Point taken.  FIL would have been a mess to deal with regardless of whether he was married to MIL or not.  BUT, as others have stated, being divorced means DH is first responder for everything.  So, although there would have still been a burden and situations to deal with, there is exponentially more than there would have been if MIL were still in the picture.

I agree that no situation is perfect and a lot of this is situational.  FIL was a bad parent.  There are good parents who happen to be divorced.  Sorry to generalize.

But as stated, regardless of the situation, divorce certainly throws a monkey wrench into the scenario and makes it more difficult.  And that sucks.  Other things, besides divorce, can cause the same or different difficulties.  Of course.

Difficult things happen. That's life. And we should deal.  But part of dealing is being able to complain.  Being able to release some of that pent up frustration.  Being able to shout "It just isn't fair." Being able to say, as an adult, that divorce still sucks.  That just because you are 30, an adult, and capable of processing your feelings in an adult manner... doesn't mean you don't still have to process the emotions and resulting chaos that ensues.

It sucks.  Whether you are 5 when it happens, 19, 27, or 43.  When your parents divorce it sucks.[/quote]
