• As a child, watching the violent and turbulent relationship between my mother and father was intense, but it taught me some important things.
• Among the lessons is that staying in a bad marriage is not helpful to the kids. 
• When I got older, my mother told me she never left because she didn’t want her kids to come from a broken home, but our home was broken anyway.
