Divorce can really...
Divorce can really make you think about life and its true values. Family means a lot to me in this life. My parents divorced twice: once when I was two, once when I was four. All I remember of their marriage is screaming and crying and broken things. Ever since I was old enough to decide I have had nothing to do with my father. It has been difficult, but I know that he is a poor influence, and I have had a loving step father in my life for over eleven years now. Ever since then I have been extremely protective of my mother and brother. Ever since then I have been way too sensitive to arguments, confrontation, and raised voices. Every since then I have been nearly intimidated by men and the thought of a relationship. Although my mom's second marriage has been successful, my dad has had hundreds of girl friends over the years. I am afraid of ending up like him: selfish and lonely. So everyday, I make it an absolute effort to give more than I take to others, and to show compassion to all; even him. Divorce can really make you think about life and what is important to hold onto during this brief period we are permitted on this earth.
