Why parents shouldn't divorce ?

         
I am told I was three when I cried and ran after my father who turned back towards my family and never returned. I have least memory of those days I spent with father. I don't want to blame my father instead I curse my fate that made us to live separately. Even today I don't exactly know the reason father leaving my mom with two of us, my brother less than a year old. It isn't easy to face the society as a child without the father because when somebody pamper there is someone who always look at you. My mom took time and immense effort to grow me, grow us to this level. She faced the critics, gone through pains and I remember she even slept the nights without food pretending not hungry. To boost myself I have been grown up as a responsible child where every villager cited to scold their children. When I am off from my school days, I helped mom to grow our family and live the level that society wants to. It was dumbfounded that we have been one of the happiest family in the community despite incompleteness.I never failed either. I was one of the best among thousand of my friends in the school, for the hard truth, every school I have studied.
But I can't compensate the feeling, "Why did my father left us?". I really don't know why he turned his back to my family. Was that his infidelity or perverted manner? All those questions arises when we overhear the talks like "He is a fatherless child, son of the pervert father, son of  a father who changes wives and a mother who changes husband". I now hates the term 'DIVORCE'. I really do. I feel no good and I don't have answers to those questions.  I can't take the blame on my father and I hate people talking about their parents separation, as a child. And I feel sorry for them because they have to.
To my readers, married or not, as a single-parent child with the challenging emotions I take this forum to share you the pain children goes through after the breakage of marriage, the divorce. And hardship of the road they are travelling. There may be a reason to divorce but also there is a solution to stay together. How much happy we are, Family is never completed without parents. Parents are God, is never wrong. They are God. Everybody wishes to have their parents always together. And now 'Divorce' is the word I hate in my dictionary only because I love my parents. When someone is there to comment,"You will be like your parents,..... " I am left with wanderlust thoughts what did my parents do.
