Divorce Through A Child's Eye....

I close my eyes when I get too sad
I think thoughts that I know are bad
Close my eyes and I count to ten
Hope it's over when I open them

I want the things that I had before
Like a star wars poster on my bedroom door
I wish I could count to ten
Make everything be wonderful again

Hope my mom and I hope my dad
Will figure out why they get so mad
Hear them scream, I hear them fight
They say bad words that make me wanna cry

Close my eyes when I go to bed
And I dream of angels who make me smile
I feel better when I hear them say
Everything will be wonderful someday

Promises mean everything when you're little
And the world's so big
I just don't understand how
You can smile with all those tears in your eyes
Tell me everything is wonderful now

Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now

I go to school and I run and play
I tell the kids that it's all okay
I laugh aloud so my friends won't know
When the bell rings I just don't wanna go home

Go to my room and I close my eyes
I make believe that I have a new life
I don't believe you when you say
Everything will be wonderful someday

Promises mean everything when you're little
And the world is so big
I just don't understand how
You can smile with all those tears in your eyes
When you tell me everything is wonderful now

No
No, I don't wanna hear you tell me everything is
wonderful now
No
No, I don't wanna hear you tell me everything is
wonderful now

I don't wanna hear you say
That I will understand someday
No, no, no, no
I don't wanna hear you say
You both have grown in a different way
No, no, no, no
I don't wanna meet your friends
And I don't wanna start over again
I just want my life to be the same
Just like it used to be
Some days I hate everything
I hate everything
Everyone and everything
Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now...
I don't wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now

Are you going through a divorce, or your thinking about it? Are you thinking of how divorce is going to affect you? Well, stop thinking of how it's going to affect your life for a second, and think of how it's going to affect your child's life! It's not always about YOU! Children do not understand "Divorce" and it's hard enough on them without all the fighting and yelling. Do your child a favor, and think of them for a change. Every time you fight in front of your child... you are changing who they are for EVER!

It's better to be from a broken home, than to live in a broken home!!

Oh Yeah... Keep it civil!! There's no need to play games! The faster you can resolve things, the faster you, your-ex, and your child can start healing!!!

As a teacher, I see the effect that divorce has on children, and it's all too sad, especially when the children are stuck in the middle of their parents fighting, and they don't understand... They just know that something is just not right.
