  • My folks divorced ...

    My folks divorced when I was 11/12 years old. I still remember as broad daylight how it felt. It's one of those traumatic experiences you never really get over even as an adult.

  • I teach court ...

    I teach court mandated parenting classes for divorcees and I always stress to them that ultimately the truth is known. Kids tend to figure out what is right and wrong, who is the good guy and bad guy etc. You confirm that. Good luck to you.

  • well, at first it ...

    well, at first it was that, but then I just discovered as I matured that my father WAS to blame for the failure of thier marriage,which I didn't want to believe at first. It can take a long time to sort out what is real, what is guilt, what is trying to please one or the other parent, etc..

    Thanks for your comment.

    The depth of hurt from a divorce is immeasurable for many. Sounds like you still deal with loyalty conflict involving your folks. I'm sorry that happens to anyone.

  • I still struggle ...

    I still struggle with issues stemming from my parent's divorce as an adult.. It is very hard to reconcile love for both and to know if your feelings are yours or the other parents.
