My ex! I never thought I’d see this on shower thoughts. Her lesbian parents got a sperm donor and then later divorced and re-married. All 4 of them are pretty shitty people though and kinda fucked her over mentally >

Cool!
Oh. >

Cool... Oh divorces with children involved >

Very unrelated but on the wrap-up of EXU calamity (a dnd actual play show) two of the cast talked about how they thought for a bit to have their characters have had children before divorcing as backstory to the show, but decided firmly against it bc there is a funny dynamic in the bickering between a divorced couple, but there's nothing funny about a divorced couple with kids >

Hey, Critter. 
Contrast the humor (and some drama) between Sam and Aabria vs the gut-wrenching drama for Travis and Louis. >

/r/dadjokes would like to remind you that everyone has four fathers >

I don’t get it >

Lesbian couple have kids then divorce, they then remarry women so four moms >

I have 3 moms, I'm kinda rarer.
Mom and dad, then divorced cuz mum's a lez.
I now have mom, her wife, dad, his wife. >

Wow, what a rare background! Would you mind me asking how this felt for you? Were you old enough to understand what happened…? I imagine divorce is never easy on kids, but I was genuinely curious about your perspective. Regardless of whether you reply, I hope you are doing well, fellow redditor! >

Hey, thanks for the interest!
I was 9 when my parents divorced and the reason was never hidden from me. This was back in '97, and in Italy, so it was definitely unheard of. Like all kids, I had no trouble understanding that my mom liked women and it never felt "strange".
Everything else was rough, but I always say that it was rough because my parents were divorced and we all know it can be pretty tough on kids. The reason of the divorce never really played a part in this.
Surprisingly, I NEVER got bullied because of this. I got bullied for a LOT of reasons (geeky, unpopular etc) but never for having a lesbian mom, and it was a known fact.
Also, I'm very proud of how my father handled everything. He took a pretty big hit and it took him a long time to stand up again, but he never showed this to his children and never tried to put our mom in a bad light.
