If I had written a prayer when I was a child, it would have been like this:
Dear Father in Heaven,
Please help my parents to have the strength they need to do what’s right.
Please help them to find the happiness with other people that they don’t have together.
Please don’t make me live my whole life with parents who are suffering the misery of being together.
I would urge all parents who stay together “for the sake of the children” to realize what they are doing to those children. Would you like to grow up with the knowledge that because of you your parents remained in a miserable situation?
