i came from a broken home. my parents split up when i was about 5. i lived with my mother. she was a great woman. she had some issues, but over all she was an amazing person. my parents not being together affected my life alot. I missed not having that daddy in my life. that protector. i tried to look for men to protect me, until my wonderful step dad, told me that i am strong enough to protect myself, and when i fall he will pick me up and take up the slack

I had a lot of broken homes growing up. I lived with a little bit of everyone...my mother, father, aunts, cousins, foster homes, etc... And the lasting affect it's had on me is that now my home is a broken home and everyday it gets harder and harder to fix. Growing up that way has made me a very strong person though and I KNOW that I can turn this all around and make a good home for my children...they are my life! :-)

My home was more broken after my mom married my stepdad. Before, we were peaceful and quiet, it was just me my sister and my mom, we all knew that what mom said went. There was never arguing or anything. But after she married, there was always fighting. I think it's better to be a single parent if the two are always fighting. I know I enjoyed it more.

i was raised in a broken family and i found myself more stronger than anyone else. when i face trials and challenges in my life, i learned to live with it. life don't seem good for broken families but, these trials became a great blessing for me.
