It waa Super Bowl Sunday 1998 when my daughter just came home with this guy and now she's engaged. That would be great if he were a better person. The problem is, the guy's a bum

Def time to move on from that relationship!

[az_starshine]

Fourteen years divorced, thank God :)

This sounds so much like my youngest daughter's "fiancee"...

[az_starshine]

Oh boy...tell her to run, and FAST. :(

[viagra]

This broke my heart, but it's good that you allowed her to make her own choices and her own mistakes while still being there to support her.

I wrote this from my dad's point of view when I was engaged to my ex husband. I never realized how hard he was trying to convince me that my ex was not worth it until afterwards. And this happens SO. MUCH.

I divorced him in 2006 after wasting seven years of my life with this trash can human. My parents were supportive as I tried to work it out, but walking away was the best and bravest thing I could have done.

Good for you. It must be so hard for parents to deal with a situation like that. I think you captured your father's voice well.

[marlawentmad]

Congratulations! It is great you had that support.

That must have been a really tough and worrying time for you. Glad to hear she is out of that relationship now!

[az_starshine]

I am too. :)

I imagine this is similar to how my dad felt when I confided in him all the abuse I'd suffered and he'd told me he'd been concerned when I got engaged so early too.

[az_starshine]

Oh man. That must have been tough. :( It's so hard when we're young because we can't see the forest for the trees.
