REGRETTABLE

My family has a complicated history of separation, immigration, divorce, and remarriage. I won’t go into the details but my mom often said to me “It’s my life, my choice, I do what I want. You have no right to judge me.”

I’m 20, but as a 9 year old child at the time, I couldn’t repeat what she said. I could only wonder “Your choice in life affects me too.”

Divorce is such a fad these days. Half the people I know have divorced parents, and most of them aren’t happy about it. I understand in some situations divorce is the only way, but when your choice affects more than just you, think of the consequences and choose wisely.
