But we see many seemingly happy people in their second marriage. What is your perspective on this?

We see many seemingly happy people who molest children, rob banks, and defraud investors. What is this guy's perspective on this?

Sorry, but I grew up in a fundamentally flawed marriage/family that suffered horribly for years until my very ethical and religious father finally realized that divorce would be better for us children, rather than trying to keep it together. I was already gone by that time but my (late) younger brother was massively scarred and paid for it his entire life. My father actually contemplated the possibility that she was possessed. It sure as hell seemed like it at the time.

My older brother and I have plenty of scars, but we were able to get away before it ruined our lives. His wife sadly passed away recently after 50 years of marriage. My wife & I will have our 42nd anniversary this June. There has been NO infidelity in either of our marriages.

The abuses inflicted upon us by our mentally ill, alcoholic mother were a crime, not the divorce. Unless you have lived it, you have no right to judge it. NO ONE can ever tell me that ending that nightmare was wrong. I forgave my mother before she died in the hope that she would die in peace, but I can never forget.

And take the wife’s money or vice versa.
