Another great story about separation from a young person with the wisdom of the ages. It’s true, nothing remains the same in any ones life. It does not, of course have to be a divorce.
Although, not that I have ever experienced it myself, but it has to be plenty painful for all concerned. I cannot resist the desire how thankful I am for my Christian faith, for I know, no matter what, my Lord is a constant in my life, both here and forever. Just to be clear, not that he takes the pain away, but he walks with me through it.
Well done Ada….
Wow. It is so important to remember that the work we do is not just about the couple; there are often children whose lives are changed forever by the end of a marriage.
Ada,
How powerful the story is. I wonder how many parents would do something differently if they knew what their children were going through?
I am struck by the maturity and potent self reflection of this young one! Out of the mouth of babes, eh?
Ada,
I think this is great insight into the effects of adult actions on children. If more parents would reflect on this message, they might try a little harder to work things out, which in many cases turns out to be the best choice for all concerned.
Ada,
What a powerful essay about divorce from a young woman’s perspective! I too wonder how divorcing parents might react to this. Divorce when there are children needs to be more about the children and co-parenting than anything. This is truly what parents need to learn about and understand. Thank you for sharing it!
This teen sounds wise and well. My guess is that both of her parents learned how to manage co-parenting well. I wonder how often they asked a family mediator to help them negotiate a difficult issue. Thank you for sharing the story.
Great post, most of the parents didn’t care about the feelings of their children especially in their personal problems with each other. Above the doubt, every parents love their children but they make them disturbed; although these parents don’t understand, they are not even doing bad with their children but they are doing bad to their up coming generation.
