This is a long story, but I'm gonna try and sum it up. In 1986 my parents were divorced, I was 9 years old. My mom left my father because she thought the grass was greener (it wasn't and she never married again). In 1988 my dad remarried and I received a step-mother and step-brother.
The reason I have the biggest conviction about marriage, is cause I know what divorce does to a family. I don't care what people say when they say (oh, you're not breaking up a family.....you are gaining more family). This is all self-justification and not the truth to what happens to a family of divorce.
Children of divorce don't feel like they have a rock solid place to land. Children of divorce feel the unlove between their parents and pick up on the void between parents. My family had been blown into pieces because of divorce. As I had mentioned a while back, my stepmother just passed in September. For almost 30 years my parents couldn't talk even if they wanted to because my dad was being respectful to my stepmom.
What happened with the non-communication between parents, is that they were working independently to have relationships with my sister and me. This has caused a huge problem in the family unit. My sister has taken authority over the family and has held my mom, dad and me hostage. Meaning, since my parents weren't working as a loving unit, my sister thinks she can be beyond hateful and it's ok.
A small miracle has taken place since my stepmom's passing.......My parents will both be spending Christmas with me and my family. I truly feel this is the restoring of my family. Please keep me in your prayers with this. This is a testimony of a small miracle taking place.
