Anna’s Life

Why does it seem that many times when a marriage reaches the 15+ year mark things seem to fall apart? Is it because we just take each other for granted? Is it because we are just bored? Is it the much talked about mid-life crisis?

So many of my friends are dealing with this right now.  I am not sure what causes the rift or even if the couple has any idea.  It just happens.  I guess sometimes it is an affair or it could be abuse be it mental, verbal or physical.  Neither of these makes the thought of a divorce easy.

Being on one’s own after being married so many years can be a frightening experience especially if you do not like being alone to begin with.  Getting back out in that dating arena is probably what I would consider the most scary part.

If there are kids involved, it is never an easy thing.  Divorce is very hard on kids.  As a child of divorced parents, I was often a pawn they used against each other.  It was a horrible way to be treated, but that was the way it was. 

Parents need to put their children’s needs first when going through a divorce or separation.  Children are people too and should be treated with respect and their opinons should be considered.
