My co-tutor has this Grade 1 student from a prestigious private school in Gensan. She's a very bubbly and smart child. She gets along well with all of us tutors there, and we are so fond of her. One day, she let us borrow her diary. And I was amazed by the depth of the contents in her diary. True enough she was just a seven year old first grader, but the experiences she went through, especially in her family life, were very deep. Imagine growing up with your parents separated, and even seeing one of them in a relationship with another person. What a tragic incident for a child her age.
There are parents who really do not think of the impact of their decisions to the lives of their children. Even if they say that staying in a marriage that doesn't work out would just further ruin the child's life, that still doesn't justify the act of denying the child's right for a complete family. If parents (and I mean both the mother and the father) are just a little bit more concerned for the welfare of their children than their own happiness and comfort, I think there wouldn't be broken families existing in our society right now.
