[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 743810, member: 15801"] Yes yes yes.... gosh I had always thought my parents had a great marriage (everybody did) then boom it was not. So much hidden and not talked about. So that is what it was like the rug pulled out from under me just as I was navigating my own relationships. So I couldn’t trust relationships... the boyfriend I had at the time, that I thought I wanted to marry didn’t last.....when I met my husband I wanted some kind of guarantee.... In his own sweet way he tried to give it to me but of course I couldnt trust it anyway because my dad had given it to my mom and left her after 38 years.... I finally had to accept in life there are no guarantees and that like my mom I am a survivor and I would get through whatever came my way. (Whch I have, it just hasnt been divorce!!!). Andn yes also to residcual trauma. I think we probably have all had traumatic events related to our kids.... and that time when my son disappeared and walked 10 miles in the middle of the night is one of many of mine. [/QUOTE]
