[QUOTE="SRL, post: 279932, member: 701"] I'll second all of this by DDD. I grew up in a dysfunctional family--parents who couldn't get along. It was bad when they were living together but it was bad--if not worse--afterwards for different reasons. My mom's mental health suffered, she was exhausted trying to provide for us financially, and it deteriorated across the board during our teen years. My difficult child brother didn't stand a chance without any parents at home. That experience left its mark on me and when faced with a not so happy marriage situation my choice has been to **** it up and stick it out. I know not everyone can live in a situation where a marriage isn't a real marriage but once I was able to recover from the emotional aspects, I've been okay. And I know in my case my kids are far better off this way than the alternative. Their father is a good person; we're just not a good marriage partnership. I know from posting this once in the past that it will make many women cringe, but I won't regret the sacrifice to give my children the stable home I never had growing up. [/QUOTE]
