My parents are in an unhappy marriage. I feel like I'm their only source of happiness from this family, well me and my sibling. That's not a good feeling because I'm not one to stick around, I want to up and leave, but I feel like if I do, they'll lapse into very unhappy lives.
I don't believe in sticking together if you're unhappy "for the sake of the kids", unless you can get yourselves genuinely happy again. I'm pretty cynical about relationships, well ... very cynical, and I can't honestly say that wasn't affected by my parents' relationship. I've also seen a lot of failed marriages in my extended family, so there's that as well. Anyways.
Being unhappy in your home is tough. I've been like that for almost as long as I can remember, it's tough and no one should have to go through it.
