Recently, Public Insight Network sources have been sharing their stories about some of the most awkward conversations they’ve had. Thanks to the ideas we’ve received, we’re now planning an occasional series for Marketplace Money in which we’ll explore some of these challenging topics. Maybe it’s not shocking, but a lot of those conversations are about the connection between money and relationships.
One area we want to explore is marriage and divorce. Has your life been touched by divorce in some way? If you or close family members have gone through a divorce, what were some of the most challenging conversations from that time? Click here to share your experience and your advice for others.
Years ago I was married to someone else who was abusive. After two years I left my husband on the day that we married. He was at work, and I rented a moving truck.I left him with a bed, refrigerator, stove, dining room table and chairs.I should of taken him to the cleaners, I didn’t. He had broken my nose and ribs in this marriage.
Unfortunately, I married someone similiar to my father more than 34 years ago. He had a drinking problem and was abusive as well. After growing up in a dysfunctional home, I didn’t know the difference. After two years I woke up.
