[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 592399, member: 6705"] My parents have been married for almost 45 years. I like to think I turned out pretty good! I do have some abandonment issues - my Dad was on the road a lot when I was a kid. And... When I was 3, my parents split for 6 months. Their cardinal rule was whatever they did, it was for their daughter - which meant no badmouthing or fighting in front of me. Even so, I went from completely potty trained to wetting the bed again, and it took me 3 more years to get over that. husband's parents split 29 years ago, when he was 14. He and his sister are difficult children... But then, so are mother in law and father in law. I'm honestly shocked husband and sister in law are as easy child as they are. sister in law divorced brother in law, then remarried him... And is in process of divorcing him again and has been for about 6 years. Niece is 25 and nephew is 23. She was a major difficult child and now is mostly easy child... He is unmotivated but a good kid. husband has been married 3 times - Raven's mom, Onyxx & Jett's bio, and me. Raven's mom is a super needy woman who ended up having 4 boys by 4 different men and was only married to one - husband. When bio threatened to take Raven away from his mom, she took him into hiding and husband did not see him again for 16 years. You all know the story of Onyxx & Jett's mother, and then I came on the scene when Onyxx was 8 and Jett 5. We took over full custody when she was 12 and he almost 9... Onyxx is a full-blown difficult child, Jett has his moments but is much more easy child. And of course there is Meggie, who God willing will have an intact family. So far, though, it's clear she feels loved. I was married before husband. XH was into online porn and NASCAR, to the exclusion of his wife. I left due to neglect... No kids. Thank heavens. But... He was a difficult child from an intact, but very unhealthy, family... [/QUOTE]
