My mother has been divorced 3 times. My dad (I think) tried to cheat on her with her best friend when she was in the hospital with bad appendix. I was about 10 or 11. Again when I was 15 or 16, the guy abused her emotionally and physically. Again a couple years ago when I was about 21, the guy was an alcoholic.
I vowed to never get divorced, and now here I am, not even married a year and very close to getting a divorce.
I'd write more, but it's hard to type because I'm holding my beautiful baby daughter in my arm. I think all the marriage heartache I'm going through is worth it since I know we made a lovely human being. Look for the positives, right?
I will add that, especially reading some of the stories here, I feel fortunate my daughter won't be raised much longer in a house where the parents have major issues with eachother. She's too young to be heartbroken, also. I hope.
