                          1. @northernnarwhal I have childhood memories of competing with my dad for the best speedway times in Spyro the Dragon (when mom wasn't playing it or FF7)

                              1. @northernnarwhal I'm sorry :(

                                Friday, 08-Aug-14 02:58:43 UTC from web
                                1. @redenchilada Thanks. I mean, there's nothing I can do about it now but it really wasn't a nice environment to grow up in.

                                  1. @northernnarwhal My parents are divorced...

                                    Friday, 08-Aug-14 03:01:53 UTC from web
                                    1. @redenchilada Mine hate each other to the bone but never actually ended getting divorced because they're both hardcore Catholics and it's against their beliefs. Although a divorce would be so much better for both of them, they always made the house a war zone.

                                        1. @redenchilada And when they aren't arguing with each other they're competing for the affection of my brother and I, and neither of us want to pick sides.

                                          1. @northernnarwhal At least my parents never competed for us. I don't really like that they're divorced but I'd rather they did than try to keep up a marriage that wasn't working for them. (Even if they're renting together now)

                                            1. @redenchilada Yeah, at least your parents had the decency to settle their differences like adults and not drag their children into their battles.
