That's kind of the situation that my dad was/is in. Basically, after he and my mom divorced, he got married for a short time to one lady who really used him, and he finally divorced her, but ultimately he married my stepmom, which he is currently married to, but the thing is these two fight like cats and dogs. I honestly don't understand how anyone could marry somebody that they have such a toxic relationship with. Actually, I kind of do know why he did marry her, and it has to do with the religion that they belong to. You see, I grew up in a Mormon family, and the Mormons have this belief that the only way to reach the highest kingdom of heaven is to be married, so basically people will marry the most fucked up people so long as they can get into heaven.

The only thing that ever came out good about that marriage was my little sister who was born, and is probably one of the closest people to me, but I'm sure that conception process was not easy for my dad and stepmom. I mean, i'm pretty sure that was some serious hate fucking that was going on there.
