Hi there ordinary girl,
Broken marriages seem to be the most favourite target of the devil to destroy the family - the micro church, the micro community. Unfortunately, the devil seems to be a success in doing his job as many marriages nowadays are parting and distorting. Common clamour of couples (man or woman) is that their partners do not have quality time with them. You know, we are in a super busy world and this gives the marriage a loophole - no time. I believe that if couples have time (quality time) things can never go to worst. In the case of your cousin's parents, I think their problem can still be fixed if they have the element of forgiveness, openness and acceptance.

You're right... I hope forgiveness will tag along.... they have their prides... prides is really hard to change..

Yes indeed. If pride governs the relationship, nobody will be a sure winner. Instead, all will be losers. One should be the ice if the other is fire and vice versa. Pride furthermore, is the source of all broken marriages nowadays. I think lovers, couples or partners should look into this and be cautious about this.

A broken family can only be fixed if healing starts from within. Your cousin is going to have to decide what will be the right decision for her. If she feels she wants to be with her mother then she'll go to her mother. If she wants to stay with her father then she'll stay with her father. Basically, she has to choose the best environment for her.

i came from a broken family and well it was not fixed. trust ws broken and it takes two to tango, as they say. both the parents should be able to fix it and both of them should be able to agree and fix the issue...
there are some who have had some rough times as a family but they stayed together. i think that is possible too. it just depends on the people, the family and their willingness to fight and work hard for their family's welfare.
