Divorce Blog

As I'm sure everyone's aware, divorce is not an easy thing by any means. I've always been thankful my parents have stayed together, especially when I see how hard divorce is on everyone involved. I believe this article is true, and I would even argue to say divorce affects the children's health as well, maybe not physically, but definitely mentally. It's hard when you get used to something for so long that you can't imagine your life differently. I think divorce turns people's worlds upside down, and they have to begin to start a new life. If their old life was filled with happy memories, it seems almost ridiculous to try and create something even better than what you had before.
I know breakups among boyfriends and girlfriends can be very hard on some people, with them trying to find who they were before they met that person. I can only imagine how hard it would be for divorce, when you potentially could have children together. A child might remind you of your ex husband or wife, and usually the kids will have to go from house to house. This can be very stressful on the children and on the parents.
The growing divorce rate in the United States is frightening, but I think that divorce should be used as a last resort only. I hope when I'm older I never have to get a divorce, but on the same hand, I would never want to never get married. I think in both cases, it would be very hard to overcome, and I think I would become depressed.
