Leah’s Story: My Parents Got Divorced

My Parents Got DivorcedMy Parents Got Divorced

When I was 10 years old, my parents got divorced. They were always arguing and fighting. My dad was cheating on my mom, with a woman named Lisa. He would always come home so late, and sometimes he didn’t come home at all. I was very depressed and I didn’t know how to deal with it. I had nobody to talk to about it. I would cry myself to sleep.

One day, I wrapped my my hands around my throat and squeezed as hard as I could. I couldn’t do it because I thought about my family.

One day, I came across TheHopeLine® and it helped me through all of this. I was meant to find and join this site. It saved my life and I realized this…it wasn’t my fault at all. I wasn’t alone.

If you are feeling alone and are dealing with divorce, check out our eBook: Understanding Divorce.
