and saves the crushed in spirit.”
Sara is twenty years old. Her parents divorced when she was a young teen due to her father’s abuse. We interviewed Sara about her perspective as a child growing up in a home with abuse.
Good morning! It is great to have you here. Would you mind introducing yourself for our readers?
Sara: Hi! My name is Sara. I am a young woman, a university student. I have been a member of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church my whole life. I’m very Presbyterian, and I attend church consistently. My parents are divorced. They divorced when I was about thirteen years old. Today I want to talk about what it is like to be the child of divorced parents, especially when abuse is involved. In my case, my dad abused my mom.
