Re: Impact of divorce on children

My parents split when I was 11. My Mum brought me up on my own and I was always on my own. My Mum walked behind a bar and was there from 7 to 11.30 each nite I only had a tv for company as we had moved from Yorkshire to Devon. My Mum was brought up by her Nan together with her sister and was never wanted.

My own daughters have mainly been brought up by me and are both lovely girls good mannered and pretty. My eldest is at uni and my youngest about to start 6th form not always been easy but whilst my Mum wasnt the greatest she became a great Nan and would do anything for my two girls. You cant blame the parents for what you become I firmly believe that after say 18 you develop into who you are regardless of the parents and have to take responsibilty for your actions. You cant sit there and say I had a bad upbringing therefore I am like this .....

One good parent is far better than two that argue all the time.
