I'm 57 years old, and on my first marriage. Been married two years now.
There were some indications of crazy from the git-go, but since they weren't huge, I ignored them.
I've since found out that the whole damned family was insane. Inside and out.
Nobody's perfect, and my wife is probably the sanest one of the bunch, so I reckon I'm gonna stick it out. She's actually a really good person who's had some hard knocks in a previous existence. The whole family is pretty dysfunctional, our marriage has stabilized her, and is doing wonders for their whole family. Her EX is in prison, for reasons I won't go into, but he should be dead, prison is too good for him.
My wife's kids are pretty messed up, though coming around now. I am trying to be the "good influence" on 'em. I ain't perfect, but I think I'm doing some good work.
I'm gonna tough it out.
