Dating a Child of Divorce


Dear Dr. Laura, 

I am a child of divorce and I worried I would somehow be a bad choice for marriage. My parents had fought a lot when I was small.  My main memory of my dad is his shouting loudly enough to rock my world. When I met a wonderful man who subsequently proposed to me, I worried I wasn't good enough for him or for his family. They were so kind, warm and welcoming to me.  We have been married for 36 years now, and I am grateful every day for my husband who was willing to take a chance on me. Every day he tells me he loves me and I'm the one for him. He is definitely the one for me! In addition to him, I got a great mother-in-law! 

A child of divorce can go on to have a good life. 

Sincerely, 

Sharon
