today's phrase: Broken Home
I'm not a fan of this phrase. I was told the other night that I come from a "broken home." When did a divorced family become a broken home anyway? Last time I checked I got two birthdays, two Christmases and two places to call home. Not to mention if my parents were still together I would have probably killed myself by now. They hate each other. So why does society make the word divorce a huge epic deal? So it's a sin. So is greed but CEO's of major corporations are praised for their achievements. And so is gluttony but obese people are pitied for there problem with emotional-eating. So society should give up the phrase "broken home" because divorce is really more a solution than an act of breaking. It solves a dysfunctional family and creates two separate fully functional families. I've learned more from my parents getting divorced than I have think I would have learned from my parents staying together. It comes with it's own challenges but think every lifestyle has it's own challenges and divorced families shouldn't be reprimanded for the way they live. In conclusion the term "broken home" is officially not a part of my vocabulary. And I would like the phrase taken out of societies vocabulary all together because at the current rate we are at 2 out of 3 marriages will end up a "broken home". and that's a lot of brokenness for one world to handle.
