I am not blaming any of my failures as a man on the pitfalls of divorce, but I can clearly see now that my “character flaws” were a direct hit stemming from the casualties of my parents divorce. I did not ask to be me, and I certainly did not ask or expect to be stuck on stupid for almost three tenths of a century. It was what it was! \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e If I would have known their divorce would eventually effect me which I believe set the wheels in motion that turned towards me turning out the way I have, I would have started Praying that night. But I had no idea it would, and neither did they. I can only imagine how beautiful my life would have been if their marriage was meant to be, but it was not about me. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Brooke! \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AuthorHouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47125386526960,"sku":"9781452091259","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781452091259_p0.jpg?v=1763842830","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781452091259","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
