Divorce leads to questions for children

Noel Mallett hangs out on the Lee College campus in Baytown.

“They sat me and my sisters down and told us they were divorcing. They said they just weren’t happy together anymore. I had an idea. But I didn’t think it would happen.

“I guess it wasn’t that hard for me because I’m not that emotional about it. I’m not going to cry over it. If they want to separate, then that’s their decision.”

What’s going to be the hardest part for you?
“Probably choosing who I see and when I see them. Like, when I’m at college, I’m going to be living on campus. So when I come back home, who am I going to choose between? I like them both.”
