Family Relations 160

  People who entertain the thoughts of divorce are also entertaining untrue thoughts. Well if you did not guess it, I will just tell ya. Today we are talking about divorce and remarriages. Both of which can get a little sticky and whether or not we know it or recognizes it one or both have affected ether us or one of our friends. As always we get deep into our topics and at the same time we look at the numbers. So please keep an open mind and let it all seek in. Well lets dive! Numbers first though.

Something that I really value from my childhood was my time with my dad. The majority of our time spent together was always him, my siblings, and I working side by side and very little talking.
