The fact that my parents are divorced doesn’t make me damaged goods

Dear Potential Mothers-in-Law,

Let’s talk about a topic that’s taboo for you and a reality for me.

di·vorce

/dəˈvôrs/

the legal dissolution of a marriage by a court or other competent body.

If you’ll notice, nowhere in the definition of divorce does it talk about the children of divorce and how it affects them.

Did the divorce and events afterward affect me?

Of course.

In the way you’re thinking?

Probably not.
