my mom had been married/divorced 4 times.
she said my father was the nicest of them all, and she divorced him because he "was boring".
My mom is a smart, self-sufficient, and multi-talented woman. But she cant seem to settle down in relationships. Shes happy with her boyfriend right now though.
My father is a wonderful man who I have never argued with in my entire life. Hes generous, kind, and loves me more than anything.
I dont think the divorce(s) had much to do with anything in my personality.
I was raised by my mom, and Im almost identical to her in personality. Except shes a bit nicer than I am. Considering how screwed up her parents were, and how well she turned out... I dont think such things affect personality unless you let them.

" 'okay', I said, respecting and appreciating the offer, also knowing that I would do no such thing. I dont call people for help. Its not because of the way I was raised, at least I dont think so; its the way I was made.
Johanna once said that if I were drowning in Dark Score lake, where we have a summer home, I would die silently fifty feet out from the public beach rather than yell for help. Its not a question of love or affection. I can give those and I can take them. I feel pain like anyone else. I need to touch and be touched.
But if someone asks me, 'Are you alright?', I cant answer 'no'. I cant say 'help me'."
