How many of you have... ....DIVORCED PARENTS? ....PARENTS STILL MARRIED? ...HOW LONG? ....PARENTS WHO PASSED AWAY? AND.... How many of you are SINGLE PARENTS, DIVORCED OR COMMON LAW COUPLES WITH OR WITHOUT KIDS.....
My parents are divorced since I was 16 years old, my dad got married again, and I have two brothers from that marriage, my mom is single and lives with me still alive, I am a single mom, with one kid
Well, I was anti marriage and after several years of common law, etc... we decided to make it "official", unfortunately, pple change along the way and your lifes start to take 2 different paths. Sometimes, por mas esfuerzos y sacrificios que uno hace, it is not enough to save the couple and things are not getting better. So yes, it is sad because I think that nobody ever gets married thinking about getting divorced but when you really come to a dead end, well, why stay together and be unhappy. I think that both have to right to be happy, if it is together, that wonderful and if not, well, life still goes on !
Ohhh... sorry it didn't work out.. and yes it is sad to see a couple go in different paths, but like you said why be with someone that is "a stranger" to you and be unhappy. Life does go on.. and probably in the future you'll meet someone better...

Thanks MJ... and what do u mean by "made" it???? Marriages this days don't last.. i think probably because of the mentality most couple have.. They think if it doesn't work, there is always divorce...or could it be something else.. afraid of the commitment or afraid the person they married to is totally different to the one they have dated???

By made it, I meant, it's nice to see a couple that are wanting to spend the rest of their lives together through thick and thin. Sometimes couples get into a little "rut" and then they give up so easily.
@Julie: I'm sorry to hear about your parents. You have such a sunny personality!! I'm still coping with my daddy's death but I hope I can be as outgoing again!!

My parents separated when my mom was pregnant with me, and my dad passed away last year, but because I didn't grow up with him, his passing didn't hit me as hard as most people who grow up with their fathers would have.
I don't have a brother. well half borther but he lives in Italy and I haven't seen him in many years. the rest of my family is in France. So it is not easy everyday, specially because my aunt and I are very close.
I took me a lonnnnnnnng time to accept and understand when my Mom passed away, actually, I think, that this wound (?) will never close. As for my Dad, I knew it was coming so I guess as was prepare, plus I had a very strange/funny experience when the time came and I accepted it pretty.
