My marriage started to go badly wrong after I had my second son.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have gone from one relationship to a marriage and stepchildren.
Coming to terms with the fact that my marriage was a failure was devastating and very difficult.
Marriage destroyed my relationship with two wonderful men.
Coming to terms with the fact that my marriage was a failure was devastating and very difficult. I blamed myself for a lot of things. It took me a very long time to get over it.
My parents had four children quickly, divorced quickly - when I was two - and my mother remarried quickly. We were suddenly in a different environment with a different father.
I know in my own marriage I stayed in it to provide my son with what I thought was a stable background and to give him what I thought was the family life a child should have with two parents. But that isn't always the best way, and it took me taking my son to therapy after the divorce to really see it.
Marriage was probably the worst mistake I ever made in my life.
I was just so lucky to have a wonderful life after a tough marriage.
My wife tells me I need to learn to be more patient with my son.
Although my marriage left me with three beautiful children, it also left me with a healthy dose of self-doubt, low self-esteem, and an extreme desire to be loved again. I was operating on empty, expecting to be paid in full.
