Please don't take me wrong. I have no kids. But being the older children of a couple who's had hard times and still are happly together I can say I did not know them why my parents wouldn't want us to take sides when they were the ones that teached us about values. I guess the most valuable thing I've learned from them is to have mercy for others so we can have it on ourselves too. They knew then a valuable lesson that I wish I could have known before. What's between a couple, it's private. There's a line on being a parent and being a person. You can't mix both missions. I guess they were trying to say things can be Ok again, even though it's not our idea of Ok,but they wouldn't taunt me with their hard times. they wanted me to learn it by myself as none can have the same life and the same mistakes. So I am glad they have given me the chance of seeing the world through rosy glasses and take my own conclusion. I can say to you I can truly understand them now. May be if they have not give me the choice of doing it I'd not fight for my M.
