I Have Really Annoying Family Members

My grandmother finds divorce as a really bad thing. She extremely judges people who get divorced and tells that people find marriage as something simple as changing clothes and people should go their marriage no matter how bad it is. I know she was targeting my mother who got divorced from my abusive father. 😒

You can't blame her, it's what she was bought up to believe and it's all she knows... Doesn't mean she's right of course

@ozgirl512 Agreed, but I think that makes it even more fusturating because you know the person is just genuinely ignorant. People who say those things were taught that so they don't know any different.

@SatanBurger all very true, but it's the rare older person I think who can overcome so many years of conditioning

I've met several people who think that way. They're like, "A promise is a promise! You must stay married no matter how difficult it is, you made a vow."

It's scary because they seem to not care if there's abuse in the relationship or genuine misery that can't be worked out.

@JupiterDreams There was at one time where abuse was seen as normal. I'm glad that the future generations won't be so daft.

I mean I think marriage is sorta sacred as sacred goes in this world, but saying something like that disregards the fact that people don't get divorces unless it's pretty bad.
It's good to take it seriously, but that's just being abrasive tbh.

Sounds like my Mother no one is good enough for her kids but if she did as my Nana said she would not have married my Dad they are still happy together she should won’t her kids to be happy.

I adamantly refuse to discuss my parents' divorce with people.

She was probably raised to believe that domestic abuse was “just part of being married”, too. Is she your mother’s parent or your father’s ? 😒

JBird · F

@bijouxbroussard mother's

bijouxbroussard · F

@JBird Sorry to hear that. I wonder if she was abused by her husband. 🙁

JBird · F

@bijouxbroussard nope. But my mother used to say my grandmother had a tough childhood.
