| Re: Divorce
I think it definitely has an impact. My parents got divorced when I was 2. For awhile, it was okay; my Dad lived a little ways away, but he was still in my life. Then he moved to California when I was about 4. I don't know why, but I always felt embarrassed by the fact that my parents were divorced and it made me really shy for a bit. My Mom remarried when I was about 8. My Step-Dad was a good guy ... well, sort of still is. Ever since his company came crashing down after 9/11, and then his Dad's death shortly afterwards he's struggled a bit with depression and alcoholism. Awhile back he drove off into the night with the plans of killing himself but the police found him first because he was in some public park at like midnight. Since then he's been on & off lexapro, which seems to make him more like a clown than a normal person. |
