Marriage and divorce seem to be from two different realms of reality. Being on my second marriage, and my second divorce, I feel like I should tell the world a thing or two. Though many people have many different reasons for getting a divorce, mine is pretty simple. Let me explain.

Why did my second marriage fall apart? I have no answer for that question, except that people change. I thought that my second husband was the most wonderful man that ever walked the face of the Earth until he gradually became what seemed to be one of the most evil men on Earth. I am not sure where it started, but gradually over the course of two years, he became someone I did not want my children to be around, much less live with. No, he was and still is not on drugs, he just seems to have turned into a hateful person. Everything in the world seems to make him mad. It must be all directed at him.

When someone raises their voice at my children, my ears perk up and I go into defense mode. I do not mind, when my children are acting up, if one of my friends or family correct my child, but I am giving you fair warning....do not scream at my child....especially if you are their parent. Yes, there is a difference in raising your voice and screaming. My husband's daily screaming at my blood daughter, split us apart. After a while of me begging him to get some kind of anger management help, I finally gave up, and began to hate him and almost everything about him. By the time we separated, I was already done. I just wanted it to be over.

I remember as a child my parents separating, and my mother yelling at me quite a bit, and I did not want my children to have to go through years of anguish due to me and their father not getting along. For this, I have a few family members (who mean the world to me) that have told me that they will NOT be in my corner, and that he was just trying to make them mind. To that, I say what ever!

If they would have put a camera in my home for one week, they would have been begging me to get my children out of here, yet instead, I am the bad guy. If I have to be the bad guy to protect my children, I will! I am a strong woman who has overcome many of life's obstacles, and I will overcome this one as well. Every time I start getting stronger as a person, people seem to think I am losing control, when in fact, I have more control now than I ever have had before. My children are my world, and I will walk till the ends of the Earth to keep them safe.
