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

[QUOTE="blackgnat, post: 635941, member: 13561"] My ex and I separated when difficult child was 15 and easy child was 13. Our divorce took FOUR (count them!) years to complete. We had a very amicable split and it's as good a divorce as any could be. Both sons say that it didn't really have an impact on them because their father is a workaholic and he wasn't really there for them emotionally. Doesn't like confrontation. So they felt that his absence from the house was just business as usual. I have massive resentments that my ex didn't teach them how to be men. I think boys who have positive role models win the jackpot. Even when my difficult child put me in the ICU for 5 days with a bleeding brain, NOTHING was said... I am the ONLY person in my extended family who is divorced. And I agree wholeheartedly with the poster above who referenced the Irish genetic components of alcoholism and lunacy-it's my heritage and we have all of that in spades. [/QUOTE]
