My parents divorced when I was 14. It was...I am 49. My parents divorced when I was 14. It was a "good" divorce with generous visitation, no screaming in front of the children, etc. I was told in a kind and loving way that Mommy and Daddy just didn't love each other anymore...<BR/><BR/>The fact still remainds that the foundation of my life was, and in some ways, still is broken.

Maybe a few parents will take it to heart.<BR/><BR/>Love your blog.Susan Kayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16599394499288052327noreply@blogger.com
