Replies to '10/09 The Dr. Phil House: A Family's Last Chance, Part 4'

 I was raised in a family of five children where from age 6 1/2 years old heraing how my parents were going to stay together until the first 3 turned 18 cause that is how many my Dad wanted.  Then my Mom got pregnant accidently twice more.  Watching the fighting and kicking the walls and furniture flying and cussing and crying.  I don't agree to stay together for the sake of the kids. I'm glad this couple is seperating now and as stated by someone else; time and alot on Todd's part will be better off.  Sometimes it's better for the parents to divorce than keep fighting in front of the kids and then trying to get the kids on their side.  My parents seperated for 6 weeks after the 3rd child turned graduated from High school.  I was already married by that time since I was the oldest.  They decided to go back together again cause it wasn't fair for the 2 youngest ones.  What a bunch of crock! Maybe money wise only. They stayed till the youngest one had a year of vocational school.  Another 7 years!  My Dad married twice more and is now dead.  My mother is still living and never remarried.  And oh the sorted affairs on each part!  Yep kids are smarter than you think.
