Grasping at straws

That's fine, if her feelings come from knowing that 3 divorces doesn't degrade her as a person, and a divorce isn't "the easy way out" then I think OP's mom should listen. My initial reaction to the posting was OP probably wanted to say, "Mom, if you can't stay married to someone then . . . It's not right for you to get divorced so many times because . . . When you stand at the altar to get married, you're promising . . ." All of which sound reasonable and wonderful until you learn that people change throughout the course of their lifetime. I'm 28 and unmarried, if I were married I believe I'd be different. I believe I won't be the same when I'm 30, 46, 53 or 66. Sometimes the person who's right for you now won't be right 10 years from now. I'm guessing those who voted me down haven't learned that yet.

Ah, yes, the disposable marriage. Loyalty and "Til death do us part" are good things. Discarding something that's broken rather than fixing it is not. (Barring abuse.) Before anyone goes there, yes, I've been around the block a few times in my 43 years.

Letting your kids have 2-3 stepfathers (and who knows how many boyfriends it took between each relationship) is a rather irresponsible (and potentially dangerous) way to live your life. depending on how old the OP is and how old she was during the marriage, she had every right to tell her mother her honest feelings about how switching men so often was disrupting her life. Ive seen plenty of women flit from guy to guy or marriage to marriage, dragging their kids through their mud and its heartbreaking.
