Are all of us divorced or single moms? Is this a factor?

[QUOTE="judi, post: 635883, member: 148"] LOL about this question! We are still married and pushing 35 years now. We jokingly have said some horrible things to each other: 1. When our son was arrested, he was literally tearing thru cornfields at 110 mph with police in hot pursuit. We have a very unusual last name and yes, his name and picture were plastered all over the TV and front page of the newspaper too. So, our conversation centered around changing our names. 2. We've always said that the one the leaves the marriage has to take full responsibility for difficult child - therefore no divorce. 3. We couldn't afford divorce with all the mental hospital stays, residential school, special schools that we've paid for. Recently we brought lawyers into our check register - to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars. How could we split up the bills? 4. And finally we figure who would want either of us: we are both old, tired and very sad about the way our son's life has turned out. Sarcasm and laughter get us thru this though. [/QUOTE]
