I had an amazing childhood. Loved every bit of it. My parents divorced in junior high and although I still had loads of love and support, having divorced parents is very impactful.

Now having my own kid I understand how hard it is and how much it can take it’s toll on a marriage like my parents.

My wife and I realize this and still make time day in day out for us and our own interests and still prioritize each other after the kid and not just 100% of our son.

Although watching my parents divorce was the hardest thing for me as a teenager, it’s also become the single best thing for me in my adult life from a learning standpoint.

Although very truthful, you don’t really understand the impact until it’s gone. The absence of something, whether good or bad is the true telling of its impact.
