I'm A Child Of A Divorce – But It Hasn't Put Me Off Marriage

I'm A Child Of A Divorce -- But I Still Believe In Marriage

Like many children of divorce, I’ll never forget the day my parents told me they were splitting up.

I was 12, and I’d come rushing home from school with a picture I had done in art class – a Picasso copied from a book, in oil pastels. I was ridiculously proud of it, and couldn’t wait to show my parents. But I never did show them the picture, because when I got home they were sitting at the kitchen table, waiting to tell me that their marriage was over.
