PERSONAL EXPERIENCE (Domestic Area)

I am a child of divorce at age 9 with two siblings. My father remarried a few years later into 6 additional children. My mother later re-married and re-divorced. I was raised on and off in both households with periodic substance abuse issues as part of the dynamics. After leaving home, I was married and divorced before age 25. I re-married at age 28 to my current beautiful wife and her 3 year old son. We had 1 additional child born 1 year later and both children were raised together successfully in our home while our son maintained a relationship with his natural father. Therefore, I have personally experienced practically every side of the broken marriage issue and understand both the emotion and dynamics that are brought to the table in a divorce or post decree matter beyond the pure legal consequences of the action.
