Let me know if you have heard this before: "divorce is damaging for children". How about, "remarrying is confusing for kids"? Finally, have you heard something like, "broken families can break the life of a child"? Starting to sound familiar? One more question: does it sound like complete bullshit to you? I am not sure where we got this idea of 'broken families', but maybe it is time we reassess.

Look, I am not saying that divorce and separation is the right choice or the best choice for all situations, nor am I saying that it should be the first option for parents or couples in general. If a situation is able to be saved and would genuinely be best kept together, I am all for working things out as commitments are made to each other for better or worse. ...
“The only way that we can live, is if we grow. The only way that we can grow is if we change. The only way that we can change is if we learn. The only way we can learn is if we are exposed. And the only way that we can become exposed is if we throw ourselves out into the open. Do it. Throw yourself.” ― C. JoyBell C.
