I believe I would be a very different person if my parents had gotten a divorce. My brother and I are extremely like our dad and I still don't understand how that came to happen. Many people in my high school didn't even recognize my dad as being my dad but yet they all called my mom their second mother because she was always there for EVERYTHING I did, every sports game, concert, or anything. Many people might believe that it is as if my parents are divorced. My dad is still not around very often although my mother & him are still married and have a good relationship. This is because when I was 9 years old my dad became an over the road truck driver. He is only home for a few days every couple to threee weeks he's on the road. Most of my childhood he has not been around for the day to day events so my mother stepped in to be the best stay at home mom she could.
I feel that if my parents hadn't worked through the tough times, him going out on the road was a huge obstacle, I wouldn't be the person I am. I would not always know that my dad is there for me no matter what, I also think my personality would be different because I have soo many of his mannerisms. My brother would also not be who he is & he would have had no male role model in his life.
My parents showed me that if there is trust and communication then your relationship can survive anything, including distance.

I agree, my parents are still together and growing up my dad had to travel every week for his job. I feel like this has also taught me trust, and that parents play a major role in a childs life.
