[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the child of divorced parents and [b]there's a ton of trauma in my family that extends beyond the divorce. [/b]I refused to date guys who didn't have a divorce or something in their background. People who come from "intact" families or who have never experienced any kind of trouble in life tend to be very judgmental and smug and lack empathy.  They also don't have any kind of resilience. When life throws them a curveball, they tend to fold up like a cheap lawn chair.  They aren't good at coping with tragedy.  And life will throw trouble at you. (Look at the past 2 years!)  I didn't go out looking for partners with trauma in their background, but I inevitably found that partners without some scars were naive and unempathetic and childish. [/quote]

I came from divorced parents.  I have literally NO trauma from it.  I had a terrific, happy childhood. I had both parents around always.  I now have 2 step parents who are both a little weird, but they are loving and kind and very good to me.

Sorry your parents sucked.  But they probably would have sucked if they stayed together too.  [/quote]

This is so true! It is the parenting, period. Actual marital status does not matter. [/quote]
