I grew up a child and product of divorce.  In today’s society, divorce has become the norm. However, 30 years ago it was still considered taboo and a rather frowned upon “choice”.  In the case of my biological parents, it was the only option. My father and mother were married for only a few short years before they decided to divorce.  A decision that I can confidently say we are all grateful for. They dated in their very early 20’s for a brief time and found themselves pregnant with me. They quickly got married and 17 months later had my little brother.  Their relationship was rushed, volatile, and reached a point where lives were going to be imminently affected if they did not end things.
