"I don't choose to take time away from my family, work, and school to engage in name-calling and part..." — Phaedra Parks

Marriage is hard, and it is even harder when your marriage is under public scrutiny.

It is incredibly painful when you realize a marriage is not working, and it's so easy to get lost when you are making decisions about whether or not a relationship should continue.

As an African American woman and the descendant of slaves, I do not condone any form of racism or oppression. I most certainly do not take lightly our history of slavery and the battles that were fought, and won, to gain the freedoms that we now enjoy.
