I remember this whole entire disaster like it was yesterday… I was in 6th grade when it was all happening. I didn’t really know what to think of it, or how to comprehend the whole situation. I just knew that my parents weren’t going to be living together anymore, and they weren’t happy together. Divorce can be hard on any kid, or family, no matter the age or circumstances. It’s difficult to see the ones you love separate, but it’s always for a good reason. Some families take awhile to cope with situations like this.  I knew my family was strong enough to get through

Divorce can be hard on any kid, or family, no matter the age or circumstances. It’s difficult to see the ones you love separate, but it’s often for a good reason. Some families take a while to cope with situations like this.  I knew my family was strong enough to get through

I knew my family was strong enough to get through the hard time and to adjust to the “new” lifestyle we would be living. Life does get easier and better after the struggle of the emptiness you have been feeling. My family is the kind of family to always keep positive through all the bad times and to never give up or think negative. Even through all the struggles we’ve all always loved each other no matter what. It’s easy to get through the hard times in life when you know you have many family members who truly care and love you. I’m glad to say that 4 years later my family is very happy with where we are, and what we have overcome.  My parents are happier and there’s nothing to be sad about. Life will always end up to be the way you want it to be, never give up. I never did and you CAN

I’m glad to say that four years later my family is very happy with where we are and what we have overcome.  My parents are happier and there’s nothing to be sad about. Life will always end up to be the way you want it to be–never give up. I never did and you CAN overcome any heartaches or upsets in life.

According to Children Divorce Statistics, 50% of all North American children will witness the divorce of their parents–almost half of them will see the breakup of a parent’s second marriage.

One out of 10 children of divorce experiences three or more parental marriage breakups.

And 40% of children growing up in America today are being raised without their fathers.

Fifty percent of all the children born to married parents today will experience the divorce of their parents before they’re 18 years old.

From these statistics I’m not the only one, who has experienced this situation! These statistics don’t have to show that every family stays unhappy after a divorce!
