I am a child of divorced parents but life was a lot healthier for everyone after he took off with the my moms best friend and her kids. My father was a horrible person mostly do to his alcoholism, atleast he grew a little with his second marriage cause he didn't physically abuse her like he was to my mother.
Anyways...
I know how dumb I/it sounds cause believe me I have a younger sister and if she was in my situation I'd be livid. I guess the easiest way to explain it is, he's done a lot of hurtful things but he's also an amazing person in general. He literally is my best friend(next to my mamma). I'm not close to any of my family other than my sister & mother who done everything for me and my sister. Anywho, she was diagnosed with advance stage lung cancer with brain mets in 2015 at only 48. I myself have 3 children but not with my current husband. (My life may be a little complicated) I was married once before to my high school sweetheart at 17. We divorced 6 years and 3 kids later but co-parent amazingly, even do birthdays/some holidays together. His wife and I love doing shopping trips and are planning a "momcation" someday lol.
Wow, really sorry that was so long!
