Their situation reminded me that it was only a little over a year ago that my marriage of 18 years disintegrated into dust. In the aftermath, it had taken the help of a professional therapist and a brief period of medication to pull me out of the psychological crisis. I wondered if there were any young children that would feel the ripple of their parent s problems. I know that my children were impacted by my marital breakup, even though they are adults. They had lived through divorce as young children and were faced with the turmoil once again in their twenties.
Children are the obvious victims of marital difficulty.
As one who has failed twice in marriage, I am not so sure. As I browsed the store I saw a display for the latest offering by Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott, When bad things happen to good marriages . I was reminded that the book Boundaries in Marriage by Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend, had been helpful to me in the final stages of my marriage.
