i know this is not exactly what the thread is about, but i wanted to share my experience.
i WISH to anything that my parents would get divorced. my father treats my mother like garbage. he yells, screams and won't even talk to her. he threatens divorce constantly but doesn't have the balls to actually go out and do it cause he knows he can't take care of himself.
my mother deserves much better. i KNOW another man could treat her the way she should be treated and, although she doesn't love him anymore, doesn't want to get divorced. she keeps hoping he'll change. whatever
i find myself always looking for older men for her, even though i know it is hopeless. i can always dream though.
