However, I cannot judge others who do divorce. In fact, I have actually advised other family members, who are trapped in bad marriages, to get a divorce. Because a bad marriage is like a living hell. And anybody who cares enough about a person would never tell that person to "stick out" a marriage gone bad.
Both my wife and I come from broken families. Her parents broke up when she was 10. But my parents decided to stick out their bad marriage "for the kids."
Well I wish my parents had gotten a divorce. Because growing up in that house was a dreadful experience. From the time I was 12 or 13, I wanted to stay out of that house as much as possible because things were so tense and unhappy there. When I was 17, I joined the Marines because I just wanted to get away from that place and I never went back either.
So I will never cast judgment on those who decide to end a bad marriage. I believe that when a marriage is beyond repair, that parents actually have a duty not only to themselves, but to any children they might have, to end that chapter of their life and move on.
I've said it before and I will say it again.........You are a good man SamAdams76.
