The Experience That Changed My Life

After 22 years of marriage we (me and my ex-husband) decided to end our marriage. This was the saddest and the most difficult decision in my life but I thought that certainly this was the right thing to do.

My kids were 16 and 14 years old and suffered with the separation. I tried to compensate to them with keeping peace in my home. After that, and until now my daughter and my son are absolutely more responsible. I had been paying for all the things they need: food, clothes, college, gym, mobile phone, cable TV, educational courses, etc. Those things are pleasure for me to do because my children are special to me. They are the most important reason for my life.

Since coming to the US, they have grown so quickly. Nowadays, both are working and paying for their own clothes. They are living in different cities and they cook, wash their clothes, clean their apartments and pay for their gas.

I was divorced six years ago and when I look back, I have the satisfaction that I can see how much progress my family has made. The three of us are very good friends. Our life has not been easy but our union and our family’s love increases day by day in our relationship.

Years later, I still think that was the correct decision.
