A few months ago I would have disagreed with this.
My AH grew up with an alcoholic controlling father. I grew up in a staunch christian home. but also under extreme control just in a different way.
Over the past few months I have come to realize the extent that my father's "workaholic" nature has put on my parents 40+ years relationship. although he has never drank, or done drugs his actions due to his "work addiction" are alarmingly similar to my husbands drug and work addiction... and me in my codie is very similar to my mothers codie.
So I would have to agree, that we marry our parents.... and all I have to say to that is...
GOD PLEASE, let my kids do better than me!!!
