My parents were happily married until they weren’t. Now they’re happily married to other people.
¨
They decided to get the divorce while they still liked each other enough to remain friends, because they didn’t feel it would be fair on us kids if they let things go further, in case it would get toxic. My dad is a psychologist and has worked with a lot of kids, so he knows what impact an unstable home can have on a kid.
I guess he saw a divorce as the lesser of two evils, and I agree with him.
Aftar a few years they both found their new partners, and I’ve never seen them happier. My dad actually cried at his wedding because he was so happy. And she’s been good for him, she got him in shape and encouraged him to try new things, and she’s not afraid to challenge him when he gets stubborn.
My mother’s husband and I didn’t see eye to eye for the first many years. But he stopped being an arsehole and I stopepd being a brat, and our mutual love for my mother made us work together to try and get along.
When people ask about my family life, I say I have 4 parents. I also count my stepbrothers as brothers, so I say I have 5 siblings if asked.
My parent are happily married,they can live well with each other.My father focus on his business while my mother assisted him and had other hobbies to keep her busy.They are still happily married after 30 years even though they do had very small quarrel from time to time
At times they got along. At times they didn’t. There were a few issues that tore them apart. However these issues were huge like different backgrounds (she was a small town girl, he grew up on an Appalachian farm), and the loss of my father’s mother 2 months before me and my twin were born (the doctors told my Mom not to go. I’m not sure my father accepted that. Shortly before he died and my Mom proposed he come to the city we lived in he compared himself to a pregnant woman who couldn’t travel since he had cancer. It was almost like he was saying, “Now I understand.”) There also was his infidelity. Mom made it cold for him in the bedroom as a result. Here’s a good story to describe my parents. On the official day they were to divorce my Dad was visiting from his apartment at Mom’s house fixing something. She reminded him it was the day to officially divorce and asked him if he still wanted to do it. He said, “Yes I do.” So they drove to the place they needed to go to do it. I wish it never happened that way but some things do.
I noticed during my Latuda use that I had a “straying eye” like my father must have had while flirting with some women at the Psych Ward. I felt my Dad’s anger when someone in the family didn’t attend his funeral. I have gotten over it since.
I don’t think so… My father beated my mother very cruelly… I am all screwed up because of this. I think he was a real psycho and I struggle to have this heritance… For the most of the time, we all in my family, were trying just to stay in live because of the terror… My mom now cries about my dad once he passed away, but for my sister, its all just a theater…
Nope. They’re still married today though. Almost 30 years now I think. As a kid I would wish a ton that they would just get divorced and my mom could find someone who would treat her right and we could go live with them and ditch my dad forever. He used to be very horrible to her, emotionally and verbally abusive.
My dad has grown up a lot as a person now and is pretty awesome most of the time. (He still has his moments) But their marriage still isn’t really any better. He loves her so much but sucks at communicating that to her a lot of the time. She is annoyed by every single thing he does, his EXISTENCE frustrates her. Every day she complains about him and talks about how she can’t stand him. He’ll literally just be helping do the dishes or cleaning and she’s like he drives me crazy!! Why is he doing that!! She says regularly that if he didn’t go to work during the day she would die.
I’m pretty sure the only reason why she is still with him is because she is financially dependent on him and has no real desire to go back to school or work again. She has told me as well that she has no physical attraction to him anymore either and that his wanting to still do physical things stresses her out which I wish she had not told me because that is gross to know about your parents.
My parents marital problems drive me crazy and have always been a source of stress for me and my siblings.
My parents have an unusual understanding. It’s too complex to describe here. But it’s certainly not perfect.
They got matched by some guy in a mass wedding. They never even heard of each other before that day!!!
This year will be my parents 65th anniversary. They have been very happy. They never went to bed angry. They supported each other through tough times. A great example.
My parents are still happy together after 40 years of marriage. My issue is my SZ not my family.
I would be dead from suicide long time ago if my parents came late to home to see me vomiting from Tylenol intentional overdose, I swallowed a whole Tylenol bottle.
Drs said I would be dead from liver failure if my parents brought me late to the emergency. I still think about suicide because my pain will stop after dying. Psychic pain is as strong as physical pain. Normal ppl underestimate psychic pain.
My parents got divorced after about 35 or 40 years together. Towards the end there was a lot going on that I didn’t know about. I know they were happy for a pretty long while before they had their differences.
