I recently read and really related to this amazing article from PuckerMob called 14 Ways Children of Divorce Love Differently.
As a child of divorce myself, I felt I could relate to every single one of their 14 examples. They really pinpoint how we as children of divorce do love differently.
We may always love differently, and we do hold on for dear life when we have found something great. On so many occasions I’ve said to my husband, “I promise to love you forever and I promise not to let you go” — as if I need to say it constantly.
I am also guilty of asking him uneasy questions, and can be difficult to love sometimes.
Divorce changes your perspective on love, and when you have never been around parents that have stuck it out, and have been in a loving relationship, you go into marriage semi blind. You know what not to do and what you ultimately want is true love, long lasting love and communication. Yet, in a way, it’s a whole different territory for you as a child of divorce, because you have never seen true commitment.
This article is worth a read for those who can relate.
