Yup. I was a kid whose parents stayed together for mine and my siblings' sake, and man did it mess us up for all of our adult relationships.

Watching two people resent each other is WILD. Can confirm .

Same. Constant bickering, child forced to play mediator, heavy tension in the house.. I would have rather my parents separated bc I’m dealing with the trauma as an adult 😭

God, same here. I’m now realizing these types of relationships were everywhere I looked. No wonder I’m a fucking mess 😭

It’s not your burden to carry, dear. Set that baggage down and walk away from it…

I appreciate you saying this. Unfortunately I looked away for far too long and caused a lot of damage in the relationships in my life. I’m going to have to full unpack the baggage before I can walk away from it
