Not every child of divorce ends up an addict, or homeless, or a problem child with behavioral issues. Sometimes, remaining in a broken relationship is more likely to cause these types of psychological issues. When the day came that my dad asked my mom for divorce, I was 10-years-old. When he informed me of the news, I was upset, but at the same time not surprised, and maybe even mildly relieved. Even at such a young age, I knew my parents’ marriage wasn’t working, and I knew my dad was miserable. Looking back now, I can say with certainty that my dad’s decision to leave my mom not only saved himself but my sister and I as well. Had he stayed with my mom, I don’t know how I would’ve turned out. I am not the typical “child of divorce,” which every divorce article ends up traumatized, unsuccessful, burdened with trust issues, etc. How do you know it wouldn’t be the same for your own children? While what I’m about to go into is based on my personal ( close family) experience, t...

Ask Mario Khumalo to explain South Africa’s crime rate or its economic troubles, and he has an answer that sounds like a Donald Trump talking point: There are too many foreigners. “We have allowed in criminals and former child soldiers. The government has failed to protect its own people,” the 37-year-old said in a phone interview. Khumalo has launched a new political party called South Africa First, promising mass deportations of immigrants and “strict vetting.” In recent days, with a rise in xenophobic violence and demonstrations, it appears his platform has found broader appeal. About 2.2 million immigrants live in South Africa, according to the last census, the majority from other African countries such as Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Lesotho, Nigeria and Somalia. Many migrants lack official documentation and are working in the country illegally. Since Nelson Mandela’s election in 1994, the country has been seen as a beacon for migrants fleeing war and poverty in other parts of t...

While many would have met one or two marriage counselors that could advise them or help proffer solutions to some of the issues they are facing in their respective homes, you will be amazed to know that you can achieve so much by doing little.
