Olinda Chapel Speaks Out On Divorce
Press Statement by Olinda CHAPEL
In my own words . . .
I do not think it’s fair for me to stay in a marriage I am no longer wanted. I have always been for my marriage despite the problems or issues. No one prayed harder than me for God to fix my family. It’s all I ever wanted. But there comes a time when one has to let go.
A beautiful child was born from it. Despite my hurt, I love my daughter more than anything in the world. And she loves her daddy. So I choose to put my own feelings and hurt aside so that she grows with both her parents in her life. I choose to do right by her.
If he is never a part of her life it will not be by my doing, but by his own choice. Right now we are both focusing on co-parenting our daughter and keeping her in a happy space. As a community, this is what needs to be encouraged.
