...a "broken" home or are your parents still together?

[LisaB]

Parents divorced when I was in college & not living at home.

[iluvgummies]

Broken. Parents separated when I was 4, divorced 2 years later. Other than providing insurance & paying child support, my dad an no involvement in our lives. Honestly, I had no issue with this... Until I became a parent myself! Now I can't comprehend creating children & then abandoning them, no matter how bad things are between you & the other parent. *smh*

My parents were very happily married for 35 years when my dad died at age 56 a few years ago... Very happy family/upbringing. My mom and I are still very close, and my brother (my only sibling) is also one of my best friends.

My parents separated when I was two and divorced when I was four.

[maddy's mommy]

My parents are still married, and have been for 43 years.

tough question for me to answer - I have one gnarly family tree.

My mom married my sperm donor and divorced shortly after I was born.

When I was 4 she married my ex-step-dad, and had my half-brother (who is more like a whole brother), when I was 12 she divorced him.

When I was 14 she married my dad (he legally adopted me when I was 15) - they are still together.

My dad (the guy who legally adopted me) adopted a baby boy (he and his ex couldn't have kids), so my "half-brother" through adoption and I are just a year apart.

my sperm donor after I was born went on to have 3 other daughters with different mom's. One just turned 19. The other 2 are 14 and 9 I think.

my brother's dad only ever had Ben, so no other people to keep track of there.

I guess this would be a broken home, but my mom is still married to my legal father. (he was the best thing that ever happened to me, and I do consider him my "real" dad)

My parents separated when I was 9 months old (my sister was just over age 2) and divorced when I was 1 years old.

Both remarried and my dad/stepmom had a son when I was 4. My dad died when I was 9 and my sister and I moved in with our mom/stepdad and didn't see our half-brother again until we were all in our 20s (didn't talk to him until he was 17).

My stepdad is technically my legal father now as he adopted my sister and I for some legal reasons after my dad died that are really complicated. So, I have an old birth certificate that lists my dad's name and a newer one that says my stepdad is my dad.

[Kierasmom]

My mom and dad divorced when I was a year old. He was very involved in my life and I have no bad feelings about them being divorced.

[blondie-lox]

I guess technically I'm from a broken home, as my mom and my birth father split before I was 2. He's never been a part of my life though. My mom remarried when I was almost 4 and my step father is "dad" to me and always has been. My mom and dad will be married 23 years this May, so I don't really consider myself coming from a broken home.

[TripleAmommy]

My parents are still together after 41 years. It hasn't always been good, but they've stuck it out.

[LoveMyFour]

My parents have been married 43 years.

[Erin80]

They divorced when I was 15, then got back together when I was 27. Very strange! They're still together now, and I can't see them separating again.

[kalis]

My folks have been married for 30 years. Like Diana said, it wasn't always great but they always stayed together. They are much closer and happier now than they were when us kids were growing up.

[Kristen_at_the_lake]

My parents split before I was born. My mom married my step dad when I was 16 (started dating when I was 11). My dad married three times (divorced twice obviously). He passed away the day after my 30th birthday.

[Jenna]

My dad died when I was 7. Mom married my stepdad a little more than a year later and they're still together. I don't really think of it as a broken home, but I do have one hell of a dysfunctional family.

[kll074]

My parents are still married...44 years I think!

[Effervescence]

my parents are still married, but I would not be surprised if they told me tomorrow that they are separating. I have nothing but happy memories, and always thought of my parents' relationship as the ideal marriage, until I was pregnant with Jonah and my dad dropped a bombshell on us all about some complicated and personal things. NNow my parents seem to have a companionship, but not a romantic relationship which is hard for me to wrap my head around. My mom is always depressed lately and I know most of it stems from relationship issues. Sometimes I wonder if it would be healthier for both of them to split, to be honest. But that is all I can really say on a public forum

[mommy2kenzie]

My parents will be married for 40 years in September. Our home life wasn't always great either but it could have been worse.

[Resi]

Divorced when I was young.
