One father shares the devastation of divorce to his family.
I was devastated emotionally when my wife said she wanted a divorce. I was married for over 20 years. I was committee to her forever! Divorce is a terrible thing. I did not care about the financial aspect. Our kids have been hurt and are still struggling with the aftermath. It has been 8 years and they are still having problems! The real disaster is the destruction to my family.
One parent shares how their family changed with divorce.
My dreams for my family died with the divorce. The home that was filled with great memories, birthday parties, holidays, our future as a family and growing old together are all gone. Our kids act like they are doing ok. But our family is broken. The foundation was ripped out from underneath them. Divorce ruined my life and destroyed my family.

Words of wisdom for parents.
Divorce is between the parents-About the CHILD!
LOVE WINS!!! LOVE WINS!!! LOVE WINS!!! LOVE WINS!!! LOVE WINS!!!
Divorce or separation with children should not be about court, judges, attorneys, contempt motions, money or property. It should also not be about the destruction of a family. What it should be about, is the CHILDREN, and how both parents can create a healthy family life for their children between two homes.

One mother shares her despair in hearing her daughter say “we have a new mommy now.”
I recall years ago going to my daughters birthday party. I was ‘allowed’ to come in and was directed to the seating area near the door. As my oldest daughter is opening her gift my younger daughter says “We have a new mommy now. We don’t want you to come here anymore.” I am not sure what happened next because I was dazed. The room was spinning. I sat there stunned. I was unable to speak. My sweet children did not know that the divorce was not my idea. I loved being a mother and taking care of my family I did not want to go through each day without seeing my children. Instead, the daily nightmare I was living dragged into weeks, then months, that resulted in years of not seeing my children.
My girls showed up one day-years later. They found me and I was thrilled. I am forever haunted by the discouraging words said by my youngest daughter and the feeling of total despair.
One adult child of divorce shares feelings on divorce and spending childhood trying to live in two homes.
As a kid I always had two birthday parties. For most, this may sound really great but it wasn’t all that it was cracked up to be. My parent’s are divorced. I spent my childhood going back and forth between homes. My life was not my own. My parent’s “agreement” dictated where I would go for which holiday and for how long.
The truth is that I never really felt that I belonged in either home after my parents remarried.
