I think my parents did a good job raising us. They were good to us, taught us right from wrong, taught us values, respect etc. So why is it that 3 out of the 5 of their kids are divorced? Makes no sense. My parents are still married, and they were good parents. Is it just rotten luck? Or is there something more to it? They have statistics on everything you can imagine. I wonder if there is any statistics on ratio of divorce per family? Can it be that there is some parenthood training mechanism that my parents missed giving us? :)
Or is the divorce ratio higher amongst people from small rural towns vs people raised in large cities? Interesting to ponder. Granted sometime you just marry the wrong person. I understand that. But for the rest is there some link to how or where a person grew up?
I often think maybe they (my parents) were too perfect. Maybe we didn't see enough bad stuff or enough of the marital issues that exist. Maybe we didn't know how to handle it when it got bad? They never fought.. Hardly at all.
Don't get me wrong, I am in no way, shape or form saying that my parents are the reason for the divorces. It is just weird to me that 3 of us (me included) are divorced. We are good people, and were brought up to be that way.
Divorce is so prevelant nowadays. It amazes me. If you just look at the number of people you know and do a quick head count of how many are divorced or have been divorced, the number is probably close to 60%. That is amazing to me. How sad.
Maybe society is more accepting of divorce now and people just don't try as hard as they use to. Maybe they just take the easy way out.
When all is said and done, maybe there is no logic or reasoning for it. Maybe it's just as I said...A sad thing.....no reason for it, just sad.
