Divorce

Last Night while reading over some old emails an old friend had put that there worst point in there life was when they were 14 and there parents where getting a divorce and they saw there farther cry for the first time... Well I honestly think somthing like that would mess with a young teenages head... I do not believe this thing where if you live in a one parent family you are more likely to commit crimes, But i do believe that divorce can mess with a childs mind forutnatly I havent really had to deal with this has my perants spilt when I was a young age so for most of my life it has been my Mum my two older brothers and Me So there never was that typical family unit of Mum ,Dad and Children. But when I was 16 my mum got remarried but even then there wasnt a family unit it was My Mum her Husband then the kids and that broke down after a 18 months then came the divorce..... I understand how people can get messed up with this its must be harder to have to deal with as you get older because your mum and Dad have always been Mum and Dad a family unit then one day its Mum then Dad two diffrent people living two diffrent lives... My Brothers there Dad left when they where 3 and 4 so again they where young but it did effect them because for all that time it was Mummy, Daddy and them two Now it was Mummy and them two............. It happens more and more this days alot of children are being brought up with a single parent... but alot of children blame them selfs for the family unit being broken down and yes divorce does mess with a childs head but what is worse divorce or constant fighting....... as a person who has seen both I would off chossen divorce anyday becasue its hard as my friend said to see a parent so upset because someone else has hurt them......
I look at my friends who have parents who have been togather for 25 plus years and think well if there parents ever do divorce how hard must it be for them or even knowing the only reason your parents are still one is because of you and that as soon as your grow and move on then they will be people that must be hard to deal with...... By any means I am not comdeming single familys as I grew up in one and my Mum did a fanstastic job with us we have grown up to be successful well mannerd people ( my spelling has nothing to do with my mum tho ha) And as a single parent she always made sure we didnt go with out and we will always Love her for everything she has done for us and for being there....
