Kent - I'm definitely with you on this one. My parents divorced when I was 7 (it was 2nd marriage for both), mother died when I was nine. Dad had remarried by then to a woman with 7 children - They had a terrible relationship -they are now divorced and I have no contact with either of them VERY unhealthy situation!! - I learned from that environment exactly what I did not want to do or become.
At times I think this makes me try too hard -if that's possible. By this I mean, my desire for a healthy, harmonious family might cause/have caused me to overfunction in my own marriage relationship. I refuse to become what I was taught by the examples of my elders!
I will educate any children I may have in what healthy relationsips are, and how to recognize unhealthy ones.
You seem to be doing better, by the way! Glad to hear it!!
