Question of the Day

[thejoshuatree13]

Can you be with someone who's broken? Someone's whose family, upbringing and situation is polar opposite from your own? Will they have the same values and outlooks that were part of your upbringing that you want to impose on your life in the future/on the lives of your children?

Just a piece of thought; any words to pitch in?

I think it's possible, but it's a lot of work and both parties must be prepared for a lot of conflict. I think both also need to be prepared to do a lot of compromising

that's almost exactly how i feel/the situation i'm in. my family is very close and although we sure as hell aren't perfect, we definitely are united and supportive. no one in my family puts down one another, and if we do, we feel like an ass afterwards. there also isn't a whole lot of divorce in my family either. so being with someone who has experienced the opposite of above is definitely hard to understand at some points.
sometimes i just feel like stability is crucial to family life. a stable home, a stable family is necessary for the way you treat others. but i am a believer that we are responsible for handling our darkest situations and our troubles. we can either dwell on it and be negative, or move on and be positive. but no matter what, your family and your upbringing are the make-up to yourself and your life.
