<p>You guys act like divorce is so hard to deal with Try eating bologna and beans for 2 weeks straight…</p>
<p>^^Guess both are really sucky.</p>
<p>My parents have been divorced since i was three. So the current set up where I live with my mom and two younger siblings is completely normal. I couldn’t imagine my parents together. I actually like my parents apart. They are both still successful even though they are both single. Even though they can’t even talk to each other, they both love my siblings and I.</p>
<p>Can I just say how much I hate the phrase “broken home”?</p>
<p>I live with my incredible mother–who always makes time for her kids despite a demanding and stressful job–and my wonderful (if…twelve) little brother. I have the love and support of both my parents, including my father who still visits regularly. They were my fiercest advocates all through my childhood; they believed in me and fought for me and sacrificed for me; I know that there is very little they would not do for my sake. They aren’t perfect: far from it. But in eighteen years and change I never wanted for anything–certainly not love–and even when they said or did things that made me angry, or that I didn’t agree with, I never doubted that they had my best interests in mind. There are a lot of kids with married parents who couldn’t say as much. I know kids with married parents who couldn’t say as much.</p>
<p>And my home is not broken.</p>
