Divorce
Divorce is a silent killer.
From the moment the papers are signed, grief comes with the procedure.
Your Dad and Mom never speak to each other.
My sister worked at the time and we never saw things in the same way.
My older brother lived with my grandparents, after Mom kicked him out.
My 5 year old brother stayed at my grandparents house during the day.
Mom picked him up, after work. It was 5 years before, I spoke to my Dad again.
Mom wanted it that way. All looking for the answer.
Some found their answer through sex or drugs.
But, all will know one day that these are foolish answers.
For the price will take it's toll on all involved.
The broken years of Divorce never go away.
They stay with you until the end. They haunt you at every turn.
Reminders linger in the mist, when you never have the friendship of a sister or brother.
Dad and Mom wonder why you turn to others instead of them.
In your mind the countless hours of being alone, dad after day, stands in the way.
Even with marriage and beautiful children the curse never ends.
The curse hurts the spouse and children of the adult.
With a covenant of love from God, the curse can be broken.
You can have a Dad and Mom. You can have friendships.

Post a CommentI think that the parents need to forgive one another and continue to talk. That is how it should be at least for the kids. This is what frustrates me about 'grown adults'!!!!!

This article has serious grammar problems :(
So sad but happens way to often !!!...Great work with this !!!
When parents divorce it changes their children forever. God said He would make "one flesh" out of husband and wife; however, both must be equally committed Christians for that to happen. We're living in a fallen world, so divorce has skyrocketed. But God promised He would restore the years "the locusts have eaten" and I cling to that promise! Thank you for sharing this look at divorce.
Divorce is something that is devastating. Thanks for sharing your insight.
Mr. Rocco,
Apparently your parents were the ones that stayed together. Thank God for that. But, if you look back in the 1960's and 1970's families believed in staying married. If you read the comment under what you wrote you would see that I have compassion toward people that have gotten Divorces that did not want them. I do not know where you would get the 1800's from.
Divorce is hard on children, but sometimes a divorce is much better than staying in an abusive marriage or with a spouse that cheats and so on. I wonder what year your parents divorced, because it seems the earliest US divorces were in the 1800s. More common was men who had their wives committed to insane asylums, so they could divorce them and marry their lover. Parents who divorce are the very ones who make the divorce experience hard on children; mature couples remember to put their children's welfare above their own angers to soothe the transition.
Lisa Renee,
I realize that there are alot of people who have gotten Divorce and did not want to Divorce. I feel for those people and their families.

Lisa Renee,
Yes! Divorce is painful. If people would live by God's word, instead of by their selfish desires, people could be spared from alot of pain in life. Warnings in God's promises are there for a reason.
