Why You Should Forgive Your Unfaithful Parent
And baby pressure
Your parents also come from the era of baby-making pressure. Today, we accept that women can and will have babies in their late thirties and into their forties. But that probably wasn’t the case for your parents, who were told that having lots of kids young is just what you do. So, in many ways, they were pressured into further and further committing to someone (each other) they probably didn’t know that well. The focus on compatibility wasn’t high back then.
