Divorce
... One day at school, my friend had approached me telling me her parents were getting a divorce. ... I know they wanted it as well but as the years went on the more unhappy they became and my mom’s strong opinion against divorce finally began to change. When I first found out about divorce, I was immediately opposed to it. ... I also had social issues about divorce, what would I tell me friends and what would they think of me when I told them my parents weren’t together any longer. ... I think my mother must have seen the pale expression in my face because no less then ten seconds later my mom pulled over in her green jeep to tell me she and my father had decided that divorce was the only key to happiness. All I remember from that day was replaying those words in my mind, “ the key to happiness = divorce? ... To tell you that divorce is all terrible would be a lie. ... Even though I still wish they would have never gotten divorce I see how it has made me a stronger person with other people who are going through the same thing. I guess if I was older I would have chosen for my parents to have gotten divorce as well, considering the fact that they are much happier that way.
