I'm wondering, how many of you come from broken homes, and how do you feel it has affected your life, outlook, personality, sexuality even. I come from a broken home, my mother remarried when I was still young, but I think I've never fully recovered from the blow of my father leaving when I was 4 or 5. |

=( I myself do not come from a broken home... I have no idea what it's like, but I'm glad I didn't have to go through with it. |

i dont even remember my father splitting up / divorcing from my mum. I dont know whenit happened or why or anything but i dont feel the need to find out why or anything. Dad has been re-married at least once, but she left him after a while she had a son too) and dad used to live with the previous girlfriend/wife and her son for quite some time and i think they were married too. I used to stay up at his place sometimes. And now he has a new girlfriend with 3 kids who live in another state and he might move there and possibly get married again etc. I dont know, it doesnt really directly affect me. It kind of frustrates me when he doesnt approve of my choices or tries to influence what car i get, what i do on the weekend and stuff, because i feel that he wasnt responsible enough to take more care/interest in me when i was younger to have the right to make those statements. But you know, he comes over every week for dinner and stuff, we pretty much just watch tv together. Its a bit awkward and what not, dont really know what to say. sometimes i feel like things would be easier if he had just left. But at least he makes the effort to see me every week and call on the phone, that is commendable. Mum has never been remarried or seen any other men. I cant say for sure whether this has affected my life and everything, but i mean it must have as i see a psychiatrist and psychologist for counseling and cognitive therapy, and take anti depressants for depression and anxiety and social anxiety. But there are many other factors which contribute to that, which i may get into at a later time / different thread. I think it has influenced my stance on drugs however, because my dad does a bit of drugs here and there. Im not into drugs at all really, ive had a fascination with them and have tried weed a few times (stolen from dad) but it isnt my bag. and i dont plan to take any recreational drugs in the future. and im sorry for your hurt, face pixellator. |

My family is as solid as a rock. |

hehe "solid as a rock".. I'm not claiming it's true or the opposite, I just found the expression funny. |

Same here, I won the parent lottery. But finacial problems have really affected us. Let's just say I know how to deal with stress. |

Solid as a rock and bourgeois to boot. |

My parents divorced when I was 9 years old and my Father passed on when I was 11. |

my parents divorced when i was young, and i went over 10 years without seeing my dad. honestly can say that it hasn't affected me in the least; at least, i don't think it has. i consider myself reasonably well adjusted. whether that's the reality or not, i dunno; people can never judge theirselves accurately. i seem to be able to deal with situations well, though; certainly have had my fair share of shit. |

my dad died when i was young from drugs and what not... my mum is a pot head.... i've repressed most feelings twoards my childhood, which has made me a nervous, bitter, sarcastic, cunt, for the most part. |

I haven't seen my father since I was five, so I didn't get that time-share thing - I don't know if that is good or bad. |

My dad left when i was nearly 3... it fucked my mum up good and proper for a while, but i'm glad he went now. I do find it very awkward seeing him at birthdays / xmas or whatever, particularly as i have to feign liking the poor excuse for a man. |

Why do you feign? |

Just makes things easier in the family... plus if i never saw him i'd never get to see my two half-brothers. I only see him very occasionally so i suppose it's not a huge cross to bear. |
||||||||

But doesn't it allow him to play down what he did, and its effect, rather than being honest and open? Doesn't this somehow let him off the hook and take away his guilt? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Short answer: yeah, i guess so, but i haven't got the energy to bring all that tension out into the open... too much like hard work for no gain. Plus i don't want to stir shit in the family because he can be a bastard to my half-brothers anyway, and i wouldn't to make things harder on them by pissing him off. I'm content in avoiding contact with him for most of the time. |

It was a long time ago. Doesn't really affect us much now. |

I remember finding my mother in a hotel room on the day she remarried, weeping. I think I finally figured out why. |
