I was about to be appalled at this comment! Then I saw who wrote it tehe

Whaaaat? Why should OP support her mother in her 7th failed marriage? I imagine OP knows WAY more about every situation than you do, and who is at fault for what. If my mother were on her 7th divorce I wouldn't offer support to her. I'd tell her to try living as a single woman for a while until she can figure out what she wants.

#60, y'know, Tough Love is a kind of support. Helping your mom recognize her mistakes and hopefully avoiding future ones would be useful. It just seems cold-hearted to simply turn your back on the woman who produced you.

Not only produced you but held you in her womb for 3/4 of year. When my mom got dumped by my abusive stepfathers (5) I was still their for her even though they never laid a finger on her. I agree your mom should be the person you support because god knows she supported you.

I'm sorry, but if you get married and divorced SEVEN times, that's your fault, and no one is obliged to feel bad for you, not even your children on whom you've likely imposed a lot of grief with your myriad and short lived marriages. It seems like this mom doesn't care what it does to her children to lose their father in a divorce, and then 6 more stepfathers the same way.

Very well said! I've tried to be supportive in her happiness but not at the expense of my life. Unfortunately, the men she chooses tend to be abusive, so you can imagine what I've been dragged through.

"I'll bet you're not a cubs fan".. Haha good finish...

my thoughts exactly, 85.

Wow I love this comment!!!

Divorce is a rough thing; it can be chaotic and just stressful overall, even for just the people who are being dragged along through the mess. 7 times? Sheesh.
