Abolutely no way would i ever get married.

I would wish it on nobody.

My mom married a guy in late 1983 who was actually over a decade older than her father. Why? Because she got an unplanned pregnancy…my older sister, who was born in the spring of ’84.

When I was born in 1985, my father was 61 years old. The marriage lasted another 4 years. My mom hated him because she thought his suggestion of wanting to prepare all 3 of us kids for better education in private school was that “he was trying to get rid of us” and the divorce was an ugly one.

She married again in April, 1990 to an Air Force sergeant, convinced that military men were loaded with money and government benefits that would make her life better. She even stopped working after the honeymoon in preparation for what she thought was coming to her. But sergeant pay is not as impressive as she thought for raising the 3 kids, or the four more she had with him up to 1995. She complained constantly about how the money wasn’t enough, and threatened to leave him until he agreed to leave the military in 1996 to seek better options. There were few offered to him. Hell, we got worse off financially in the years to come and she still refused to get a f~~~ing job to better the income he brought in from three jobs total. She was perfectly content with sitting on her ass and doing nothing but watching TV and subjecting us seven kids to physical and verbal abuse that grew worse as we got older.

She finally tired of my step dad and divorced him in 2001, taking him for 3/4 of his pay, and even though he lived in some basement room for $260 a month and lived off Ramen noodles, my mom still complained that the checks weren’t enough and threatened to deny him his visitation rights unless he paid more. Luckily he didn’t have to because she got a job at the post office that she liked and began dating some well-to-do truck driver who owned nine rigs, as well as his own, and got distracted by the money he was spoiling her with.

She married the trucker in 2003. The guy was a bit weird but he was an okay guy in the time I knew him. Unfortunately, this marriage sure didn’t last long. He saw her true behavior, couldn’t deal with her psychotic outbursts, and they were separated 6 months later. He filed for divorce but she refused to do the paperwork, convinced in an act of paranoia that he was a “Mafia hit man” and would try to have her killed if she made a court appearance, so the divorce wasn’t finalized until early 2014, when she was engaged and planning her fourth wedding. The guy she married is one I don’t know much about because by now, we all knew how this show was going to turn out, so why bother?

Sure enough, they divorced within six months. Apparently she went on a psychotic outburst and he told her to stop acting like a spoiled bitch. She said he was a “mean man” and wanted out of the marriage. Sucks to be her because she got NOTHING out of it. She tried to keep his car and threatened to smash it up and wreck it if he tried to claim it. He came by with the police present to get his car and the cops told her they’d arrest her if the car was in any different condition than he last saw it in. She got nothing, not even a dime. My mom is now a homeless vagrant living in a cardboard box, and at the age of 55, she has hit the wall of old age enough to be unattractive, and can’t get any other man interested in her. Our family has disowned her, all us kids are grown and want nothing to do with her. She has plenty of time to focus on the failures of her life.

What goes around, comes around. LOL.
