Divorce in your family

[Janice]

Both of my parents had seven siblings. There was no divorce on my father's side, while four of my mother's siblings got divorced. My sister was divorced. That's it for immediate family.

[MickeyMac]

My mother divorced my step father and thank God for that.
:clap :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap

One of my aunts has divorced my uncle after over 30 years of being married. It came as a big surprise when we found out they were going to separate and were looking to divorce.

My uncle and his wife divorced a few years before that and he is now married to another woman.

[LuLu Rogers]

My Uncle's wife divorced him when I was 4 years old and my cousin was only 3. She left her 3 year old son and didn't even fight for custody. I refuse to call her my aunt after what she did, I hope she rots. My Uncle is the one who's related to me by blood anyway(my dad's brother).

My parents got divorced for a year when I was about 9 months old, but they got back together and got remarried.

My Granny and Grandaddy got divorced a few times actually, but they always got back together.

My cousin and her husband are now divorced.


A lot of divorce in my family, which kinda scares me.

Boy, especially your Grandparents must have kept the lawyers in business!!

My parents separated and the lawyer was urging my mom to go for full divorce which she never wanted - just a separation to hopefully get him to stop drinking. Unfortunately he died of the stress/alcoholism before they could reunite. Other than that, my mom's parents divorced and a couple of her aunts but that's about it in my family.

[Tuesday Weld]

Only my one cousin divorced and that's it in my family.

[Pitooey]

For my immediate family - My parents were married for 52 years. My sisters are married 34 yrs and 25 yrs. consecutively.

As for me.......... I was divorced after 13 months of marriage. I am married for the
2nd time and I want a divorce again. If I do get a divorce I will never marry again.

[Brian Damage]

My brother has ben divorced twice.

My parents have been married for over to 40 years. So much for that...

I saw how divorce ripped my brother to shreds. He never fully recovered from his 1st divorce when he met his second wife and married her within a few months. When they divorced a couple of years later, he was briefly admitted to a mental hospital.

[Darren J.]

My parents are divorced. My dad has been married 4 times.

[browneyes106]

One of my mom's brothers was divorced twice. He died about 8 years after his second marriage ended.

One of my dad's brothers divorced from his first wife almost 20 years ago. He got remarried last year in October.

One of my dad's sisters divorced her first husband after 10 years of marriage. She remarried ten years later.

I have several first cousins that have been divorced.

[Stuck In The '70's]

My sister is divorced and one of my cousins got divorced but that's it.

[beautifuldreamer]

I have two uncles who were divorced over 10 years ago, but they are both happily remarried now. That's all. :D
My parents have been married for 32 years.;)

Interesting thread, Janice. Nothing I even think of, for some reason.

My Uncle Bob leads the family in divorces. I think he's on his 4th or 5th wife. I lost count. At my Uncle Walt's funeral(his & my dad's brother), he came up to me with a woman I didn't know, and said "This is your Aunt Sylvia.":rolleyes:

My maternal grandmother and my grandfather had separated years before, as long as I can remember. My grandfather wanted a divorce, but my grandmother being a devout Catholic, wouldn't grant him one. So they stayed married but never living together. In fact, he lived with another woman for the rest of his life.

I've never even seen my Aunt Lucille's husband(the father of 3 of her 4 boys). From what I hear, he left her when I was very young.

2 of my cousins are on their 2nd marriages.

[Dragonflies]

My uncle was divorced once, my other uncle once as well, my aunt is still married to her husband of 40 something years.

My brother is divorced, a few of my cousins are. I had grandparents that made it to 52 years before my grandpa died

[MrCleveland]

Not from my immediate family, but my distant cousin divorced her husband this year.

And my aunt divorced my uncle and remarried him again.

[Family Ties Forever!]

My mother has been divorced twice. My brother has been divorced once.

[PunkyP0WER]

my uncle on my dad's side divorced twice. the first was long before i was born

my aunt on my dad's side was divorced from her first husband she had her 4 kids with.


my nana on my mom's side was divorced from the father of her 4 kids.

both my aunts were divorced on my mom's side, each only once.

my uncle on my mom's side is a serial divorcee, he's on his 4th marriage and is currently getting divorced.


my mom and dad were divorced but got re-married a year later. :lol:

marvin has been divorced 4 times. his longest marriage was 30 years until he was widowed.


his mother was divorced.

[Janice]

I forgot about my husband, lol! Kim, you reminded me. I'm Lou's third wife. His first marriage was to his high school sweetheart. They were married for eight years and had four children together. He was married to his second wife for 10 years. They had no children together, but he adopted her infant son. The bio dad was never in the picture. He's closer to his adopted son than the rest of his kids, probably because he lived with him. It's funny, even though he has four kids with his first wife, I was always jealous of the second wife. The first marriage was one of those, "everyone's doing it" kind of thing. He really loved his second wife, but she had a drinking problem.

Both wives remarried, and his second wife died five years ago, from malignant melanoma. They said their good-byes on the phone as she lived out of State. It was very sad. My husband and I have been together for 26 years, and our 24th wedding anniversary is this week. I guess the third time's a charm. I can't imagine my life without him. It's hard to tell where he leaves off and I begin.

:love:

My parents were divorced in 1982 and actually got back together the day the divorce was finalized. They remarried officially in 1986 and were together until my dad passed away.

My sister is divorced, but she and her ex still live together.

Two of my brothers are divorced from their first wives and currently remarried. My other brother has been happily married for 14 years.

No one else in my family has really even bothered to get married. Most of them just bounce from relationship to relationship. :( My family is a little crazy!

[Hollywood Rock Chic]

I have a sister that has been divorced three times, she is on her fourth husband. I have another sister, that has been divorced twice. An older brother, who has been divorced. A cousin, that has been divorced three times. My mom divorced her first husband, when she was only 27 years old; and which, is good, because she has been married to her second husband (my dad) was 42 years:D

[*Pleasant Tomorrow*]

My parents got divorced in 2002ish but they were separated long before that. And thank God. I'm one of the few kids that was actually relieved by divorce in the family, rather than scarred by it.

Also, one of my dad's sisters is divorced. (The bastard left her and two babies behind). One on my mom's brothers is divorced and remarried.

[Jude The Obscure]

My mom and my now deceased dad were divorced in 87 (they did try a reconciliation briefly post-divorce). She remarried and was divorced from another guy around 1990 (the marriage didn't last a year).

My late older brother was divorced and remarried at the time of his death.

My mom's second oldest sister went through 4 marriages. The third oldest was divorced once.

And countless cousins have gone through more than one marriage....

[Liza]

Both of my mother's brothers have been divorced, but I don't really talk to either of them.

My grandparents were married 54 years before my grandfather's death. My parents will be married 30 years next month, and my sister just got married in January :)

[Schmoopie]

My parents were divorced when I was in 9th grade. By that time, things were so bad between them that I was a little sad, but more grateful to be honest.
My dad married my stepmom four times. I know that sounds weird. I didn't find out about the other two times (they divorced once and then remarried), until at my dad's funeral.

[Chocoholic]

An aunt of mine is divorced, along with one of my cousins.

My aunt and uncle separated for a year or so, but got back together before the divorce was finalized.

[Schmoopie]

Both of my uncles have divorced and remarried. One of my uncles is a widower now, though.

[Vito]

My late parents never divorced.

My mom's sister (my aunt) was married four times. For the rest of my aunts and uncles, it was "til death do us part" -- no divorce at all.

Both of my sisters have been happily married for more than 30 years, but two of my brothers are divorced.

With one exception, all of my male cousins are divorced. None of my female cousins are divorced.

Two of my adult nieces are divorced. My 30-year-old nephew got married last year, so hopefully he and his wife will have a stable and long-lasting marriage.

[Crimson and Clover]

My mom and dad divorced when I was 3. My mom remarried when I was about 11, divorced after 6 years. My dads been married twice. First stepmom was a drugged up bitch died of an overdose. My stepmom now is great but she is dying of stage 4 lung cancer.

My brother had been married is going through a divorce.

I was married and am going through a divorce (Nov it will be final, yay.)

[Dragonflies]

My great grandma was married like 5 times, and I have a cousin that has been married about that many times as well LOL

[blink]

My mother had three kids and was divorced by the time she turned 21, one of my sisters was divorced with two kids at the same age so I guess it runs in the family.:(
