The Roller Coaster Continues

Dear Reader,

You would think that almost a year after my wife left I would not feel like I had lost everything I cared about in this world. Yet it seems that almost daily I brought to tears by both my daughter and my wife's departure. There is little comfort in this world for the loss of your family. When all you wanted in life was that family. Yes there is still time to build it with someone else, and yet you are breaking everything that is sacred to you. Marriage which you hold sacred is now destroyed. Your beliefs now shattered as the marriage crumbles into the abyss.

You consistently feel the pain that keeps you awake at night. Nothing seems to take away this incessant pain. Some days seem to be fine and then you hit upon those days when you still cannot believe this is happening. This is not a victim issue. This is an issue where everything you want in life is taken away by someone else. You have no control, so you fight in any way you can to gain a little bit of control. The feeling that part of you has been taken away haunts you. At times you wonder if there is a god. You wonder if there is a God. You wonder how this God can be so cruel. Then you realize that it's not God it's our society that makes it far to easy to get a divorce. There should be mandatory counseling prior to a divorce. There should be a period of trying to work things out. Our system is so broken that they would rather take the easy way out as well and take the money. Divorce is not cheap as both you and I know.

Why is it that no one wants to work for anything anymore? Everything I have and I have worked for I appreciate. If I take the easy way out I am only harming myself. So how is it that our society will not realize that we are creating our own demise by making everything easy? How is it that we cannot see the forest for the trees. Yes there are definite reasons for divorce that are valid. If one party is being physically abused, or if there is psychological abuse. If the abuse goes both ways that can be worked out. Both parties can change to make things better. So why do we make it so easy. Is it so that our legal system can take our money for services that are not needed? Why do we allow this? Our society makes it to easy to destroy a family, the time has come to stop this.

Join with me in making a pledge to stop families from being torn apart by a society that makes it far to easy to destroy the most important part of our society. Without a functional family our children grow up not knowing themselves how to have a family. Do we really want this for our future? I know these are tough questions, these questions need answers though to pull our society out of this abysmal pit we are falling into.

Sincerely,
Mark
