[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What would you want your child to do if s/he we’re in your situation?[/quote]

At some point the parents, in their 70s, just step aside and say You married them, you decide!

But they are sad for their child, as I would be for my child. I think parents are sad when they sense you are marrying the wrong person, and sad when they sense/know that you are in a loveless, thoughtless marriage for the children. I think they'd want you out. But they won't tell you what to do, you have to decide. [/quote]

What I mean by the question is,

OP, if your child were stuck in a marriage like yours, considering the consequences to your child AND your grandchildren, what would you think your child should do?
This helped me get some perspective.  Think of yourself with the unconditional love that your parent (hopefully) has for you.  The unconditional love and best wishes that you have for your child.

I knew that I would not want my daughter living the life that *I* was living.  I had to love myself as much as I love her.  And I saw that having parents that tormented each other and created a toxic environment for the kids was not helping the kids either.
