“This was so polished and absorbing. As someone in your aunts’ and uncles’ generation (they are such marvelous people, too), I wonder at the void in every discussion regarding children. Was the divorce traumatic for the kids? Your father hints at this. Your radical — and traumatized —grandmother could be the poster child for this subject. There are studies that trauma is passed inter-generationally. Her distancing herself from traditional marriage led to expressed resentment, and her experience of wartime Germany and the Holocaust had to leave their mark on her sons. I’ve been married 25 years and right now I’m still “making that choice”, but no doubt prior generations had their impact on this choice. Thanks for making this. Maybe marriage is on the way out.”
