As if being a parent of today's teenagers isn't enough, having to make it work from two different households can place extra strain on the family even when they work well together.
My parents divorced when I was very young. It wasn't pretty. I remember a lot of yelling, a huge lack of communication, and the absence of my daddy for most of my childhood and adolescence. I knew for sure when I grew up my marriage would be much different. I was very wrong!
