For a lot of reasons actually. The main one is because my father was having an affair with another woman that he had met at a convention. But there are other reasons like my father's drinking heavily after coming back from work, his mother picking on my mother all the time, and my mother's wanting to go back to her country and being sick of living in Brazil. But it ended up nicely. My father has had the courage to pay a good monthly allowance, and all that. And I get free vacations in Brazil.

I'm not sure. I've heard rumors but I really don't want to put that out there. What really matters to me though was that my father left the state and never contacted his children, assisted their mother or chose to be part of our lives. That was a huge mistake. He died young about 20 years ago and I've accepted that and hold no malice for him. We all screw up. Some of us are just a little better at doing that.
-
Mine didn't. However, my mother buried two husbands- which may say something?
-
Because....my parents were too stubborn to try to work out their differences. I think a lot of it came down to financial issues and my mom wanted more attention. Now, without even being fully divorced yet, all I hear from my mom is about the guys she likes and can't have. It bothers the crap out of me.
-
They didn't - and should have/ Living in a hateful environment can be harder than living in a broken home.

The old man shot 7 children in VietNam and watched some revolutionaries skin one of them alive. He needed 6 years of therapy before he could even look at a kid without destabilizing.

They haven't yet but theyre on the brink of devorce. My stepmom and dad don't really get along It's to complicated to explain and I don't really know how to summarize the reason
-
cause they fought a lot and generally couldn't get along. my dad was super controlling and emotionally unavailable and my mom did the right thing.
-
My father had a drinking problem and a temper. He ended up smacking my mother around one time too many and she kicked him to the curb. This seems to be a pattern for our family since his dad did the same thing. It looks like my generation will be the first to transcend that problem. My brother and I are both aware of how high are risk is for alcoholism and we both try to stay away from it as best we can. He has been married for over 20 years and going strong. I have been married for soon to be 8.
-
I begged them to, but they never did! ;-)
-
For a bit it seemed like they were going to divorce when I was around 7, I blamed myself for their problems, but now I see I was not to blame, they were for being so angry all the time for no reason. They're still married, or at least they where 6 years ago when I cut all connections to that life.
-
They didn't. They have been married 52 years.

My father had mental problems, low self-esteem, and was abusive to himself and others. He is and has been trying to get help all his life. However he refused help while married to my mother.

My parent's were too young to be married. Dad was 18 and had just graduated from high school, mom was 16. They were only together 9 weeks before they separated and 2 week's later mom found out she was expecting me. I have alway's wondered how my life would have been if they had stayed together.

My dad went to college full time AND worked full time to support his family. When he would come home, dog-ass tired, and not want to play, he would fall asleep...therefore, he MUST have been having an affair! My mom is still a jealous little thing.
