    My parents divorced when I was 16. After, my father moved half-way across the country. My brother and I remained with our mother, who immediately began dating another man and married him within one year. (She divorced him 4 years later.) She essentially abandoned us to pursue her own interests/wild oats/sex drive/whatever at a time when we needed a parent the most. I assumed the care of my younger brother, a house, and my own schooling.

    To all those parents who divorce and take their kids into new, or multiple relationships - just know that I am now 26, and there is not a day that goes by that I don't deeply resent my mother for leaving my brother and I emotionally for a man at a time when we needed her most. That sense of abandonment follows me to this day.
