Quote From: mistycMy own parents married at a ridiculous young age becasue they were in loooooooove. Well guess what when they grew up and realized they had made a huge mistake they had three children and didn't think divorce was an option.
I grew up in a house where my parents fought everyday. This gives little children a very skewed sense of what marriage should be like. My brother has been divorced twice and my sister is in her second marriage. I finally married at 33 but for years and years I had an inherent distrust of men in general and made horrible life choices.
I do not feel any sympathy for either couple, I do feel sorry for the innocent children that live in the hell their parents created. Pregnancy is very easy to prevent, so why would anyone bring a child into an already unstable situation? I'm sure these people love their children but in this instance "Love doesn't feed the bulldog".
Dr. Phil often says it is better to come form a broken home than to live in one. I can strongly testify to the truthfulness of this statement.
Hi, Misty! Here's my favorite part of your comment:

This is SO TRUE. I have yet to understand why people have these awful marriages and think a baby will solve the problems. From what I can gather, having a child when you have a GREAT marriage can be difficult and stressful. Why would having one when you're marriage is a mess improve it?
My humble conclusion is that people just don't think. They think for the moment and not the duration of that poor child's life, a child who will probably bear the brunt of his unhappy parents' fighting. They can only think of themselves, which is the tragedy of it all.
