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

[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 635597, member: 17269"] I am divorced, but we didn't get separated until difficult child was 16. By then he had already been to multiple therapists, military school, a wilderness treatment center, and a therapeutic boarding school for a year. I do NOT think our divorce had anything to do with his GFGness. I think he was born with issues, and his life circumstance (being born into a family of high achievers, mainly) helped him become incredibly high achieving at the goal of making bad decisions (lol I'm funny today). Also I have three PCs (although difficult child twin looked pretty GFGish for a while...like 5 years...but that was age 13-18, and those years are behind us now.). So no, I don't think it is causative. I do think difficult child's are tough on marriages and that THEY should feel guilty about causing OUR divorces (hahaha now I"m REALLY funny). In all seriousness, it is a question worth considering but I think there are a lot of causes, most of them not in our sphere of influence. Echo [/QUOTE]
