So true! I was adopted and raised by "grandparent aged" parents. I seriously begged them to divorce. They hated each other. She stopped sleeping with him in 1956 when they had their son. He ran with evrey White woman that liked him. They fought all the time. He refused to leave because of me, she threatened to keep me, for spite. She had nowhere to go and no job skills aside from babysitting. The "good old days" are, in many ways, an illusion, or at least from what I've seen. Oppression and fear are not reasons to stay together.
