I got the marriage license for M and E. They were married Sept 1967.

She divorced my father June 1967. 

I reading that as she was having a affair with E when she was married to my dad. For 67 that would have been a fast courtship. My dad was US Navy and E was a lab tech so I thinking Dad was deployed and E worked at the same hospital M worked at. So a broom closet romance.

I wonder how long it took her to regret that decision? The first time E punched her or the first time he molested one of us kids.?

So I was 3.5 years old when it started. And it lasted a little less then 10 years.

And I am still dealing with the damage from that.
