Thoughts In Life

I received this message from my mom before I went back home from work. Then I remembered, Yeah! My family is in difficult situation now. My mom was planning to file an annulment to end her relationship with my dad. 

When I was younger, whenever we had a debate at school about divorce, I always disagreed with it. I was immature that time. I believed that what was bound by God couldn't be broken. Every problem that a couple would face would have a corresponding solution but it would never be divorce. Divorce would always have a bad effect to family especially to their children. It would cause rebellion, drug addiction, juvenile delinquency, and never ending misunderstanding between the couple.

But that was before...

I have seen my mom heart broken, depressed, couldn't eat..sleep...work...and even talk. I could not bear the pain. Just seeing her made me all torn up...talking to her was worst. I have seen my mom tried to save their marriage but still... it didn't do good. My dad continued to hurt my mom's feeling. Until they finally went separate ways. My dad stayed in Olongapo and my mom continued to live her life in Manila. In the beginning, my mom continued to feel down up until she met her special friend. My mom has been happy since that day. She felt that she has found somebody who would stay with her no matter what happened. I didn't agree with what's happening between them but as I got to know the person better and realized that he didn't think of anything else but for our own good, I already accepted him. They were very discrete before but now they are being more open, though sometimes it irritates me whenever I see them very cheesy.

My mom have to spend a lot of money for their annulment. It would even take years... I told my mom every consequences that she might face while undergoing the annulment, but my mom still strong with her decision. 

Now, I realized that it would be best for my parents to find their separate ways and just be friends. It would never work out again for them. I could see that my mom was very happy now...I don't want her to be the depressed mom I saw before. I love her so much that I want her to always be happy. I love my dad yet, I never wish for them to be one again... Like what I said, "he had been a good teacher but not  a husband to my mom"
