Not related but somehow it reminded me that I had one of those casio pocket tvs and felt so cool that I could watch a _very_ limited amount of TV while on the go mid-late 90s, and how I even managed to hook it up to our local cable with a homemade cable to get even more channels when at home. I'm so grateful I got to live through those times and been in a fortunate enough position to play with 90s gadgets like that.

I used to hide in the closet with one of those when my parents would argue, much easier to drown them out with headphones than just a tv by itself. Granted the selection was always something like Andy Griffith or primetime network. While the circumstances surrounding why I needed that little thing are terrible I'm still happy I had it and its still floating around in a box somewhere in my current home.

Did they ever stop fighting? Or did they divorce?

Separation and eventual divorce.
