Surviving Divorce
Some people think when their parents get divorced their life is over. I know from experience because i have been through it. I was only 6 years old when my parents got divorced, but i remember it like it was yesterday. My parents would fight and scream at each other every night, and they never seemed to be happy.When my parents were married they only stayed togther for that long because of my brothers and I. They did not want to hurt us.They had not been happy for a really long time. When they got divorced i was devastated. I even blamed myself at one point. Now that they have been divorced for eight years, they are both happily remarried. Though sometimes it is hard to see my parents with other people I know it is better this way because they are happier. I am also fortunate to be blessed with great step parents that love me just as much as my own parents. When i think about it I am glad they got divorced because i know it is better this way, they are happy. Plus, I get twice the Christmas, Easter, and birthday presents!
