Contraception Methods

wow sorry. looking at it from a different point of view...they CHOSE to stay together, that has NOTHING to do with you. They CHOSE to have you and decided that they wanted to be toghether to raise you and your (sister?). And at the time I'm sure they were thrilled to have a baby, and a child, but when you started getting older and being more dependent and they had more time to each other, they decided they didn't really like each other...and possibly hadn't for a while. That would be my guess, and they needed a way to vent it, and explain why they had "wasted" so much time with each other, really doesn't have anything to do with the kids, but sure sounds easy to work it out "for the kids". If there's not love, there's no love. How was their relationship towards each other when you were growing up? And I wasn't ready, nor "wanted" kids...and now I've adjusted to the lifestyle and LOVE it. I wouldn't want to go back to not having her.

Um, actually, Dad told me that he just didn't believe in having a kid grow up without knowing his father. I know he chafed against the lifestyle that I imposed on him for years by being born. Mom and Dad hadn't really cared much for each other since my sister was born (I recall Mom crying when she found out she was pregnant again, and I was 5).

Honestly, I can't recall much in the house between them aside from cool detachment and the rare loud argument. They finally got divorced a few years ago, after I'd graduated. Kinda makes me feel bad that they felt obligated to stay together for my sister and I's sake, I'd have understood. /shrug

Like I said, it doesn't really bother me much, although Abby seems to think I had some horrible childhood. Perhaps it looks different from the other side of the looking glass.
