    I do not remember much of when they were together, but some would say this was good. Either way I still felt the repercussions of their divorce, as did my brother. It did not matter that I was only five at the time, in the years to come their divorce would play a significant role in my life. I do remember asking my mom, “Will you and Daddy ever get back together?” “No Honey, you and your brother are the only good that has come out of our marriage,” she replied.

So when he met my future stepmom his hope for a normal family

Right off the bat I was introduced into a diverted living situation. I spent 1 week with my mom, and 1 week with my dad while juggling school in the process. Life was adequate. I was indifferent to the divorce, I just went with the motions and endured the weekly transitions.

  • Personal Narrative: Growing Up With Divorced Parents

    645 Words  | 2 Pages

    Growing up with divorced parents would have to be one of the hardest challenges I have faced, but it was also a blessing. My parents had announced their divorce when I was 11 years old, but before that my father lived in the basement for a couple years. After they announced their divorce, my father moved an hour away. Although my parents got joint custody, I only saw my father three days a week and every other weekend, that is, if he wasn’t out of town for work. Being young at the time made a huge impact on me, because I didn’t understand what was going on. All I knew was my dad no longer lived with us. Going over to friend’s houses was tough, because they all had “big happy families”. I would always get frustrated and wonder why my friend’s parents were still together, but mine weren’t.

    Voices, rolling over my pink barbie blankets and sheets, I swung my feet over the side of the bed. Sitting quietly listening to the angry voices shouting down the hall from my bedroom. Sadly, making out the words of the loud muffled shouting was impossible. Only being 6 or 7 years old at the time, of course I didn’t understand why my parents fought or why they hated each other enough to divorce. Once they had split, dad would perform his greatest magic trick yet. Disappearing, leaving my mom with 3 little girls. From that moment on my mother had made it her mission to drill the 7B’s into my head, which little did I know her words that stick to me like glue, would crawl out of her mouth to teach me a sacred lesson that would change my life for

    Love is the number one reason for marriage, even having Valentine’s Day to celebrate love. Yet Americans for Divorce Reform (ADR) estimate that, “Probably, 40 or possibly even 50 percent of marriages will end in divorce if current trends continue" (Colleen). The ADR also shows the divorce rates between Christians and non-Christians are indistinguishable. Even worse, Christians divorcing their spouses are distorting the Bible in order to justify their actions. Christians must be called to a higher standard in regards to divorce, and they must stop twisting the Bible to appease their conscience.
