Book Cover & Preview Text
Long before divorce: For a few years I thought I was a normal kid growing up in a normal family, but when I started writing this book I started remembering some of the things that went on in my family and I realized that we were not normal at all, in fact you might say that we were a tad bit dysfunctional. After thinking about certain situations that I have seen others go through I started wondering just what exactly is normal or not, and what or who sets the gauge for normality or dysfunction. I never saw or heard my parents physically fighting other than verbal arguments, and they never left us at home to fend for ourselves while they went on vacations or to a barn dance. I was locked out of the house after school once or twice when I was younger because of a miscommunication that was caused by a scheduling era, but it was nothing serious.
I have seen normal looking people do some not so normal things in my time, but who's to say that the not so normal things were not normal to them. I have heard of Father's who beat the Mother's with or without their kids knowing what was going on, and we have all heard of parents who chose to feed their drug habits instead of feeding their kids, that's not normal behavior to me and it might not be to you but maybe it was to them. Anyway, our parents never treated us sheisty or abused us, I know that they did the best that they could but somehow and somewhere something went wrong and was allowed to get out of control.
Shortly after divorce: I started slipping and falling behind in my classes but I didn't think it was that serious until I got my 2

About the Book
I was almost as hard headed as it gets while repeatedly insisting on missing and ignoring the entire point that Mom and a few others tried to get me to realize.
“GET YOUR EDUCATION!!!”
I still had some great times here and there every now and then, and I can only imagine how beautiful-my-life-would-have-been if I would have followed the “The Golden Rules.”
Some wonderful things have happened to me even though I still feel that I truly did not deserve or even know how to sincerely enjoy thoroughly, but on the other hand, some not so wonderful things have happened to me that I basically brought on myself as a direct result of not following “The Golden Rules.”
EDUCATION IS A MUST!!!
I know my family was not the only family that has gone through a divorce, and I know there are millions of kids who went through divorce without a scratch. 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!
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.
