Say no to broken matrimony

This incident just proves that when couples divorce, the ones who come out worse are the kids. I don't have to talk about the pressure of having teachers and classmates ask about your parents and stuff (and I've had it). Kids like us feel really sour deep inside, "why can't I have loving parents like the rest of my friends?", and there's nobody to feel angry at because it just happens that you're totally not in control of the situation. You can't even choose sides.

Having separated, divorced parents or deceased ones will impair a kid's growth. Like in my case, having a lot more contact with women (my aunts), I turned really sissy and cowardly without a father figure around. But when things get out of hand, when physical and/or emotional abuse comes into play, that's when a kid feels they are useless. I was suicidal, and if not for my awesome friends whom I thought I didn't have back then, I wouldn't even be living right now.

That's why one of my goals in life is to help troubled households. I don't want any other child to experience what I've been through. I wanna set up a marriage counseling school - I still can't understand how scarce this area is being explored with considering the divorce rate in Brunei - and it'll be controversial as heck. I don't care. As long as I can save a marriage.

All it takes is love, some memories, some space. Bring back all the happy things. Remind your partner what made them marry you in the first place. At the same time make them realise that everyone changes, even themselves. Remind the past, respect the change, resolve the future.

Speaking about love, I think I'll be making a confession very soon. But to no one that you know anyway.

Ooh, my sister's O-level result came out. 5 'O's, not good, but I should congratulate her for passing Maths and Malay, trouble subjects for her. But I don't know what she's gonna do next - she doesn't wanna go into Form 6. I suggest Nursing lah, she'd make a hawt nurse...
