Adult Children of Divorce....

Okay, so I just wanted to put this out there, to see if there were any other adults who were from broken families who feel that their lives have been adversly affected by the divorce of their parents.
I am in my 30's, and am still greatly affected by my parents divorce.
(btw, they divorced when I was like seven)
My situation is a little unique in that my dad had a several years affair with our next-door-neighbor, and eventually married her. We (my brother and I) reffered to her as our 'aunt', she was my mom's 'best friend' or so she thought, and her kids were our everyday playmates. We went on vacations together, then they became our brothers and sisters, and we lived together when visiting dad.
When I came to the age where I put it all together, I really started with the animosity towards my step-mom and my dad. It's still really bad.
I love them, but I am so damn angry with them, that it does affect my life to this day.
There are so many other completely fucked up details in our upbringing, that I'm sure will come out later in this post.
Tell me your stories!!
