The following, is a comment from a victim of divorce. It is a plea from a child, to all parents, who unknowingly or knowingly, have crushed their children’s spirits, by bad mouthing their ex-spouses.
She is begging parents, to realize that children love both of their parents. She is making a plea, for all children’s sakes, to the parents, older siblings, aunts, uncles and grandparents, to listen, understand and feel, what each child is feeling.
I quote, “It’s very hard to explain how your parents, (or other people in your family) who say they care so much about you, can have a complete argument in front of you and when the argument is finally over, they have enough nerve to talk about each other, right in front of you! They forget that both of them are still your parents! I am sorry but I just wish that they could get over each other, for my sake! I don’t want to have to choose between them. I’m sorry but that’s what it’s like to be a child going through divorce. I’m sorry.
As I hear her repeat the words, I’m sorry,what comes to my mind is that we, as adults, are the ones who should be sorry.
