How do they do it? When I ask mommy, she tells me about the times
when nothing was right, when they fought often,
and stayed together anyway. That neither one of them believe
in taking divorce as the way out, but instead stay together and keep
the family, my family, alive.
Was I hurt by their fights? I don't remember them. They kept them
mostly to themselves. My childhood has been extremely happy, happier
than any I've heard of.
She tells me, too, how their common beliefs in God keep them together.
As well, their enjoyment of outdoor activities like camping and
educational activities like visiting museums bind them together as
close friends. They share responsibilities. They need each other,
understand each other- true, there is no way out of
the relationship, at least not some easy exit. They're tied together
in so many ways, and what is wrong with that?
