My parents never argued, were always chatting, loved us kids and supported each other. When we moved off the farm to follow Dad's passion for sailing, he met and married another sailor. Mum, on her healing journey, met her new partner. Both parents were mature and sanguine about this situation, which allowed us kids to accept the step-parents and allow our parents their individual happiness.
I watched both of my parents jump from partner to partner after their divorce. Each of their subsequent relationships were filled with highs and lows, but eventually crushed by hyper-dependence. I strive to break this trend by attending couple's and individual therapy, looking after myself and trying my hardest to love myself.
