Ty - If you are a strong parent for your kids then they will learn from you how to grow to become strong, healthy and loving adults. I came from a broken home too, and yes it did hurt when my dad left. But as I grew and with my mother's strength and love, I came to realize that we were so much better off when my dad left to go "chase" his youth. She helped me to understand that it was not my or my sister's fault that he left. She was there for us and we grew up with the stability the she gave to us.

Listen to S&A, much of what he says reminds me of mom's advice. Her favorite saying is, "Everything works to the good." You may not see the good in this right now, but over time it will unfold to reveal itself you and your kids.

Take care,
Cinco
