Realizing that every situation is different, I wonder why so many couples revert to such a poor character trait. It's as if society, television, books and movies has set the standard or expectation for what a divorce is suppose to look like. Maybe I'm just cold, maybe I'm not trying hard enough to see the others side of the story, but I truly see no reason why a break up has to be such a disasterous thing. Life isn't meant to plan for destruction of others but to love and find a common respect. I feel that once you've loved someone you always will. The love doesn't stop just because you realize that your marriage is over. Especially if you have children. Plotting and continuing the pain only brings on more frustration and hurt for the innocent and in most cases it's the children. With that connection two people are bound forever. Why I ask you, why make forever so hard?Christopher Clawson-Rulehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17295995004314528325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6451416120801304485.post-44801776664746215382010-02-10T08:08:32.499-08:002010-02-10T08:08:32.499-08:00Good solid, honest advice Cynthia, I wish more peo...Good solid, honest advice Cynthia, I wish more people could actually do this, but it seems that too many are so wrapped up in themselves and their own hell that the kids are the last things on their mind. And I find that children today are treated as equals in way too many families anyways, regardless of a happy marriage, or a bitter divorce. You are right, kids are supposed to be kids, feeling love unconditionally and that their home is their safe place. They should never be put in the middle of or be expected to shoulder, adult conflicts or responsibilities.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11154856268768250282noreply@blogger.com
