[tri-med] Love and marriage and disabled kids!

I was reading Jocelyn's beautiful email about her granddaughter Tess and 
strangely enough read this line just as I was thinking about my own marriage:

<<No it is not an easy road (the divorce rate is 75% in 
families with a disabled child I believe). >>


Would anyone be willing to share any stories about their own marriages with me? 
 One or off list is fine.  If you are still married, what made you stay?  If 
you are divorced, what made you leave?  Are you happy with these choices? I 
have to say that Faren has brought out the worst in Rick and myself many, many 
times and when you don't have many babsitters(practically zilch) and don't 
spend time together alone you tend to only see this side of a person.  That 
makes it hard to have an actual relationship together.  I will admit I've been 
idling at a crossroads for a very, very long time.  I want to make well 
informed choices in my life.  It's hard to find the right path to take when so 
many other lives(spouse, kids,my own) are at stake.  This must be where the 
whole " Can't live with 'em.  Can't shoot em"  saying comes in..ha ha.
