Grandparents reaction to my divorce
| Mon, 01-29-2007 - 3:28pm |
I did not want to tell my grandparents I was getting a divorce. My main reason was because of the way they reacted to my parents divorce last year. They basiclly told them they should try harder and blamed my mom for not being a good enough wife. They believe it is the wife's job to keep the marrige together. My mom told me today she talked to them last night and told them I was getting divorced. She said their reaction was "good for her it's about time she realizes he treats her bad". I am glad they are okay with it. I really respect them and want them to be proud of me. More so than my own parents. I never realized how many people think DH treats me so bad.


I had a lot of my family and friends give me the same kind of reaction. "It's about time." Kind of validates my feelings. At least I'm not the only one who thought he treated me badly.
Now he and his family are the only ones who still think he was the perfect husband. (And I'm obviously delusional) Well, if that's how marriage is supposed to be, I want no part of it.
Good luck to you!
My grandmother had the same reaction and I too was very surprised. While I knew she would never think badly of me for leaving my now ex, I didn't realize that she thought I should do it! It's a nice feeling isn't it?
