Can everybody stop pretending their lives are so damn important? Think about this:
Your parents get divorced. You're either over 18 or you aren't. If you're over 18 then you're legally an adult. You're off at college or you've got a job.
So get over it. The grief you feel over the dead marriage ends quickly. If you're not out of the house... would you really want her/him to stay? Would you want to look at their faces, frozen in endless misery and hidden desires, every time you sit down for dinner? Would you want them to be pushed together until their arms puncture each other's chest because dislike is telling them to push the other one away?
I said get over it.
think about this:
6 million children under the age of 5 die of starvation a year. It's the oldest lesson that isn't said enough.
Be thankful for what you have.
Don't do it because you settled. Don't do it because you were told. Do it because it's better than being miserable.
How hard is it to just be in a good mood?
Let it go people. Nobody gets out
alive anyway.
It doesn't matter if your parents every loved each other. It matters that they don't now. They don't deserve to be corned just because you don't want to deal. Nobody does. Including them.
