[QUOTE="huntinforfish, post: 325500, member: 607"] I am of the younger crown here and have no direct experience for myself. However, I grew up very close with some cousins who went through this. Uncle is a solid guy. Ex-aunt was a cheating bitch who ran him through the mud every chance she got and flaunted his child support as often as she could. He went through tough times with his two kids, daughter and son. Son was into drugs and just grew up hard in a typical split home. Daughter was ok for the most part, but could have made better choices. Ex never supported Uncles ideas about discipline or anything for that matter. Uncle remarried and it was hell for new wife. No respect whatsoever. But, uncle and new wife stayed true. Offered a solid home with boundaries. They were there when needed and were a constant good influence. Fast forward to today. Ex is still a bit of a mess. Daughter is a great human being, married to a great guy and raising a family. Son had a hard road but turned out just fine. Works hard and makes good money, just got married and is expecting soon. Both are great people today. Both have a great relationship with my uncle and his new wife. Kids are assholes and think they know everything. We grow up eventually and learn what was good or bad for us back when. Ill always have respect for my uncle for how he was always the bigger man and just sucked it up and soldiered on. I'm early 30's myself and raising my first child. Think of my "strict" parents and family often and the lessons they taught when they weren't even trying. Best of luck with your situation. [/QUOTE]
