Divorce and the Broken Home
Something from another post triggered a question. Somebody mentioned the term "broken home". And I realize that there are some people out there that would not divorce becuase they don't want their kids to be from a "broken home". I would like to hear from the Glow community if you think this is a thing. Do you think divorce means "broken home"? Let's here from some "broken home" people too.
Personally I feel if my parents had stayed together my home would have been broken. My father did not respect my mother and chances are I would have grown up to let a man treat me with the same disrespect my father had for her. And don't get me wrong my dad loved me and taught me to stick up for myself, but if my mother stayed I'm not sure I wouldnt have ended up with someone who treated me poorly.
And I was totally OK with my parents not being together. That was my normal. I mean isn't it more important to show your kid this is NOT a good relationship and here is why?
And let me say that I did not get this off of a story in particular. I'm not talking about the situation of the person that said it. I am spinning off the usage of the term and sentiment itself.
Do you believe in staying together for the kids?
