"I do remember hearing arguments over the phone, door slams, and constant criticism of one another. And of course, the most devastating day of my teenage years, the day of the decision to separate. This was the only time in my life I have ever seen my father shed a tear or show any emotion. Following a nasty divorce, both parents moved on to find partners more suitable for their personalities...it has transformed me into the independent, loyal, empathetic, kind person I am today."
"It's a mixed bag. I think both of my parents were able to be more fully themselves after they divorced. They are now with people who share more similar values, so that's good. Their divorce did make me very hesitant to enter into any romantic relationship for fear that it would end...I finally took the leap and did go out on a date when I was in my late 20s."
