I have NOT been looking forward to this week because this hits way too close to home for me right now. I was dreading what might come from my classmates, or what statistics might be given. I wasn't ready to accept that my family may be without hope.
However, that is not what this class was about. I thought it was so refreshing to hear a discussion about when it is OKAY to get a divorce.
I believe divorce happens for only two reasons, and that is selfishness and abuse. And honestly, selfishness is something people can overcome and rise up from. However, I never understood that abuse might be the same way. A lot of the time it means that a relationship needs to end..immediately. But there are two different kinds of abuse and situations.
It is just another reason why we can't judge a book by its cover, everyone has a different family situation and for us to try and assume that we know what is going on --especially in the case of divorce and step families then we are not only harming their progress, but also our own as well.
