Angel TheGeneral January 22 near Denver, CO My good friend Iman Woods wrote this article on divorce and the effects it has on families. So many people are ashamed or scared of divorce, not me. I honestly think it was one of the best decisions l've ever made. Although initially it was difficult for both my son and myself, we made it through the darkness. truly believe both he and lare stronger, smarter, and more loving human beings because of this experience. You always hear how divorce has such a negative effect on kids I think divorce like any other life changing event only has a negative effect if you allow it to. I know that my son is a happier and better person now than he ever would have been in an angry and loveless home. Don't get me wrong, my ex-husband is an amazing and supportive father. But when a relationship has come to an end, there is little chance for reconciliation. And as we are today 5 years later, my son is living proof that divorce can indeed make you a kinder, stronger and more loving person. If you choose to be broken, then you will in fact be broken. My son now has not one, but two loving homes to live in, and an amazing new extended family that loves him like their very own. look at everything that happens as fate of some kind, you can either choose to let life defeat you, or choose to allow life to teach you. Had I not gone through both marriage and divorce l wouldn't be the amazing person, mother, friend, and girlfriend that I am today, and I may very well have never found my true love. So cheers to divorce motherfuckers! Salute! 6 Ways Divorced Kids Are Happier
