My younger dated a boy this fall from a broken home. Ugly divorce, one of the worst I'd ever heard of. Both parents playing the kids against the other parent, cheating, etc. I gritted my teeth and said nothing, but they didn't last long. He was so insecure that she would dump him for someone else, that eventually, she dumped him. She know understands that he didn't know what a secure relationship looked like and altough she did like him, he wore her down.

When VS and I were going to pre-Cana (Catholic pre-marital school) the priest warned against marrying someone whose parents had divorced - that would be me, the product of a spectacularly broken home. My childhood gave me an absolute determination to get it right and make a safe family for my own children... and we've been married almost twenty-four years now, with four children. So you never know.
