[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents were divorced was I was two and my husband's parents were divorced when he was in his teens.  I grew up experiencing the stepparent, half-sibling, and stepsibling syndrome....it was an awful childhood for me and my brother.  Most of my childhood consisted of the many memories of fabricating in my mind of how wonderful it would be to have my mom and dad together and to have the life that my step sibling had memories.  Fast forward into to my mid 40's and for the life of me, I will live miserably and with that empty heart to the man I married almost 20 years ago before I EVER put my children thru that type of turmoil (and it is turmoil seeing your mom with someone you have to call dad or your dad with someone who is not your mom), sadness (hoping and praying you will have your mom and your dad under one roof), and emptiness (praying with a constant ache in your heart they will someday get back to together) before I put my kids thru a divorce.  I am not that selfish.  My kids do not deserve that life of disappointment and sadness.  No child does.  The kids do not ask to be brought into these circumstances and the adults need to live with each other amicably until the children are grown and then they can do what they want.[/quote]

I suspect this is one of the reasons divorce rates are declining.[/quote]
