This is scary to talk about, but this is something I have to share, and I know I can't be the only one who has endured this. As a child, I know what it's like to witness domestic violence as a child. I remember it happening around when I was about 5 or 6 with my mom and dad. It's TERRIFYING, especially as a child. They got divorced that same time. Even though my mom is married now (13 years as of this year come August, and that toxicity is behind her and my dad), yes, God does hate divorce, but he carried her and I through it all and He has never left us nor forsaken us. God hates divorce, but He wouldn't want us living miserable lives, especially with people who don't actively pursue us. He has always been our strength when we needed Him about ANYTHING.
