My Thoughts

“Nothing stays forever”, we have come across this phrase a thousand times. Your family, parents, relatives, friends, pets, good and bad phrases in your life, everything keeps on changing. Today you are happy about something, maybe the next moment will shock you to your core and change your life completely. This is how life goes on?

Broken Families

Many of us have a great life and an awesome family. We enjoy ourselves with our family, share our happiness and sorrows. Stand up for each other in times of turbulence. But there are many unfortunate ones in the groups too.

Some families may look happy together, but when you go closer, you can see the loneliness and distance between them. Many incomplete families like parents with no kids, kids with no parents, Single parents, divorced parents. No one can imagine the emotional impact that it has on everyone.

Teenagers

When we talk about teens, the first thing that comes to our minds is “complicated”. Teens and teenage life are filled with complications. In this age, kids are confused about everything like studies, career, love, friendship, siblings and many other things in their lives. Parents are the one subject that they never understand. The same thing goes around with Parents, too, who don’t know why their kids lash out.

Things become more complicated when they have divorced parents. You can’t blame the kids; sometimes things get complicated between the adults, which is difficult for the kids to understand.

But who is to blame for this? If your kids are angry and hate you for this, who’s responsible for it?

Parents

As parents, they try everything possible for our kids. They work hard so that their kids will have a better life and future. This is not possible with everyone. Sometimes, things get out of hand, relationships break, reasons would be many. We humans complicate things so much that we end up hurting people that we love, and we start hating each other. “We are humans, we make mistakes, but we forgive and move on”. Sometimes the best way to keep people together is to go away. Parents try to make the best decision for their kids. They get separated so that their kids don’t have to see their parents fight constantly.

But still the question remains, what impact or trauma will it causes in the minds of a kids?
