My Parents Got Divorced
I used to believe that being happy was the easiest thing in this world. I had a happy childhood. I was always happy when I was little. Everything I wanted was given to me. My parents took care of everything. But then when I got older, I was able to realize that life was not so simple. Being happy does not always happen just easily.
The main thing that made me realize this was when my parents got divorced. I am aware that divorce is a common thing. A lot of my friends have parents who are divorced. But when it happened to my own family, I just couldn’t believe it. I didn’t understand how my parents seemed so happy when they were both miserable in the real sense. At the time, they couldn’t really explain it to all of their children so we were all confused about the situation. But when I got older, I approached my parents and asked them to explain to me what happened. They were able to explain to me that living together does not give them happiness anymore so they decided to live separately than to try to make things work out for the nth time.
Now that they are apart, I think they have found greater happiness with new partners than when they were together.

Oh honey, at least they're not fighting anymore right? It's alright.. |
you are so strong. i am so proud of you. at least youve accepted it fully. |
Divorce, like any other problems, is sometimes inevitable. you just have to deal with it. |
The important thing is that you have acknowledged what has happened, and have the will to move on. |
People fall apart and frankly, it is better if two people not getting along just live apart from each other because then they'll know that they are both better off alone or with somebody else.
