My parents got divorced when I was really young.
I'm sorry to hear that! Divorce is tough on a family. Did your parents seek more independence or did their personalities clash?
They just didn't get along and had no business being married.
That's too bad. Did they have to go to court to sort out alimony, child custody and division of debt and property?
I don't remember, I have barely 2 years old.
Well, I guess it's good that you don't remember! Did either of your parents ever marry another person?
Yes, they are both on their 4th marriages...
Oh my! My parents did a "de facto separation" when I was young. They informally stopped living together, but they managed to work things out.
Well that's good. Are they still together?
They are! My mom sometimes jokes that she should have gotten an annulment to make their marriage null and void, but I don't think she means it.
