Took my daughter shopping for school on Sat and had a good time. My d brought up that she only has one friend whose parents are together.

She has one friend, parents divorced, both remarried, seems to be somewhat satble, father not involved much.

Another friend, parents divorced one month after I did, father lives with ow 40 miles away, both in law inforcement and work weird, multiple schedules.

Another friend, mother is widow.

Another friend, parents just announced they are getting divorced, mother is alcoholic. Friend is to live with father.

Another friend, mother alcoholic, father hides at work, friend wishes parents would get divorced.

And we wonder why divorce rate is so high, kids don't know what a family is.

sad isn't it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" />

My OS (18, sr) just about all his friends’ parents are divorced or at least the people he hangs with now. When I registrar my YS in school last yr, I told the counselor that this was YS 3rd school in as many yrs & that STBX & I were divorcing. She said that about 1/3 to 1/2 of the students in this elementary school only lived with one of their parents and this is a very nice neighborhood.
