My marriage dissolved when my son was 2; 26 years later, I'm still single. I wonder how my son cultivated a healthy relationship without seeing a healthy example. I imagine the healthy relationship I created with my son helped. It's the type of relationship I've always envisioned for myself, as someone who's been single for 26 years. It's been interesting to see his happy relationship juxtaposed with my pastMy marriage ended when my son was 2; 26 years later, I'm still single.
