Divorce

Divorce is a very serious issue today. When dealing with a divorce, both people may feel betrayed, cheated, a loss of friends they may have had or fear of being alone. On the other hand more serious problems may occur. This included alcohol, drug abuse, money problems, physical abuse, children or perhaps in-laws. May couples say that the relationship didn’t turn out the way they expected that is why the decided to separate for good. Some believe that they just don’t feel the dame about their partner anymore.

While looking on the Internet I came upon a very useful website. IT is titled “BROKEN, When Parents Split.” In this article it explains the eleven steps a child encounters in a divorced home.

My mother had full custody of me and I only got to see my father one weekend every two weeks. (Bohannan)

Coming from a divorced family I really understood what all of these doctors were talking about in all of the articles that I studied.
