Question - (7 November 2009) 2 Answers - (Newest, 7 November 2009)
A female United States age 18-21, *vol Angel writes:

my parents divorced when I was 4, and my dad remarried when I was six. now I'm eighteen and my dad and step-mom are getting a divorce.i have an eight year old brother and a ten year old sister by my step-mom. I am not upset about the divorce, but i am upset that my dad has to go through all this again.

my question is, is it unreasonable to hope for the possibility of my parents getting re-married? do you think there is even a chance? I know I'm eighteen and it may sound childish, but in all honesty, is it an unreasonable wish?

A male reader, CaringGuy United Kingdom + , writes (7 November 2009):

It all depends on the circumstances of both divorces. I know you look at your Dad and you're hurt for him, but to be divorced twice may indicate that he has problems committing, or that there are factors within the marriages that he can't deal with, or that he's making the wrong choices. There are so many reasons.

He could find happiness with a third, but it's probably more importantfor him to just spend time on himself now, and if the right woman comes along, he'll see her.
