Broken Family.....

I am so glad that you were not quite influenced by being brought up in a broken family, but made it all the way to being a success in your college study and your work. That's a real challenge to you and you have made it. I appreciate your making unremitting efforts to improve yourself. You are great in my eye.

Broken family should not be blamed from anybody. Things just won't work even how some couple tried to be. Sad to say but it does give some bad and good impact to each family members. But I would say that it depends on every person on how to deal with it. Unlucky some, they make it as scape goat to what failures their life had. And I'm glad your not one of those. I belong to a complete and happy family but I salute to those family members of a broken family who stood still and make their life successful in other ways. Though family is the one big factor in one's development I still believe that it depends on each individual on how to face it and make it as motivation rather than self destruction.

Congratulation on your success! Hope you will gain much success in future. It's not just the family and environment around, which shape a man's success, it is the will power and the ability to cope with the situation. My close friend who was just next door neighbour, is from a broken family and she is not as successful in life. And it was much to do with the breakup of her parent when she was very young.

You are to be congratulated on your successes in IT industry. I have dealt with many clients from broken homes, for some it has spurred them on to higher success and a very good friend of mine who was an orphan from birth, has made great success in the construction industry and now own many houses that he has renovated. Some people do really well on such challenges, whilst some allow themselves to feel under-privileged and let it get in the way thinking that the odds are too stacked against them.

My mom and dad are divorced but it was after us girls where grown and out of the house. My mom told us that dad kicked her out of the house, it made me ralize that if she can get kicked out of the house then what about me. So I started college and got my LVN license. I then earned my RN license and went on to do other things. It turned out mom was lieing and dad did not kick her out of the house, but it got me movitated.

Hmmm sad! You know, parents must be the good example to everyones' life. They are responsible of teaching us good manners and everything. Well, I moved to the town from my family when I was 12. My family is living in the province. I started taking high school that time. I told them that I really want to study. I seldom visit my family. At that time on the town, I started making friends... I was with my brother. He was the one who guided me on my studies and provided me the things/materials that I need for school. Is that a broken family? Being not with your parents? Yeah, I agree with you, we should not consider a hindrance of moving forward. We can still see our visions without looking how bad our family is. Nice topic by the way. ~mar

im glad you were strong enough to keep your head up and be successful, its good to see people out there doing that instead of when a family falls apart then to fall apart with the family (if that makes sense) my family isnt really a broken family its more of a case that we all have different interested and just grown apart and went our own ways but we are still a family.

I now have a broken family and it was a very hard decision for me to finally break my marriage up. It is just one of those things that one has to deal with in this world and make the best out of. Coming from a broken family doesn't make one an outcast or make one less successful. It all depends on the person and ones drive to better oneself. Though I find it really admirable those who succeeds and overcome whatever obstacles that a broken family may have put right on their path.

I also come from a broken family. My parents got divorced when I was 2 so I don't ever remember them being together. I don't feel sorry for myself or anything. This has made me the person I am today. I feel I am a very successful loving mother. And I want to do everything I can to keep my family happy.

Coming from a broken family is not a hindrance for being succesful in life. I know a lot who comes from broken family and they are as normal as anybody. It may be even be true that they are more determine to be successful. So cheer up as long as you have friends and relative you can still be successful and happy.

Well Im very happy to see that you used it in a positive way and changed your life. But the problem is, some people from broken homes, instead of using it as a reason to excel, they just give up and dont care anymore. They drop out of school or do something illegal or whatnot (not targetting anyone or everyone in particular) I just wish all people from broken homes used it to their advantage instead of letting it break them down.

Broken families need not be judged because this can happen to anyone. Whether we like it or not, this situation needs understanding because it happens on a case to case basis. There are many reasons why there are broken families and they also don't expect it to happen to them. I am not a product of a broken family but I have close friends and relatives who do have, and I know their stories that is why I fully knew how hurtful it can be.

I come from a broken home as well. It didn't do anything to effect my career or education however I do feel it impacked my relationships with men. Though I have been with Howard over 11 years when we talk about marriage I feel first hand that it COULD end in divorce. I start thinking forever ever is so long.... How do we really KNOW for sure! My parents didn't 50% of other people didn't So there is that awareness that it may not last no matter how much we love each other. I don't want to put the kids through that. But in realty if we split now with or without a paper the kids would feel the broke up too. So it is all in my head.

Me too, I'm product of broken family since I'm 5 years old I didn't know the value of family but my mother always taking care of us... Se will sacrifice for us... If I had a family in the future I promised that I will not do this(broken family) to my family.

It is sad what happens to them but I think it is part of life and how to survive like you have done. So, good job.

i too come from a broken family. my parents split when i was about 4 or 5. it was a horrible abusive relationship. i didn't grow up angry or bitter. i just learned lessons from what my parents went through and made sure those things i didn't allow in my life. I have been true to my word. i have a wonderful family and am a happy well adjusted adult

You know that is the right attitude and i admire you for that, keep it up. me, although we have many problems in the family, it never goes to my parents mind to end their relationship, maybe they know it will bring no good for us. I think it is a smart choice.

My family is not totally broke because we're still working on it, we have so many problems coming in almost everyday that sometimes made us quit. but looking in the bright side of life and thinking our future became our strenght to stick to our family. and yes, we shoudnt take this situation in our life to ruin our dreams.. make this our strength. prove to yourself and to everyone in this world that this will not affect you,.. live life and fight!

Broken Family causes big problems not just to each member but in the whole society. As it is known to be the basic unit of the government. Lots of consequences may happen, specially for a girl. I've known a lot of my friend who were easily been married and got preggy. Unwanted pregnancy comes and early young pretty mom is going to nurture the child for another broken family. One thing that it may lessen or cure this sickness, is to have a strong religious bonding relationship between all the members, heading the father to lead any worship activity so he could be a role model to his wife and his children.
