Meaning

This reads as a personal declaration that family instability shaped her values very strongly. It can be taken to mean that divorce is not discussed here as a neutral option, but as a line she drew from her own history and fears. It lands when someone speaks from experience about protecting a household, especially after growing up with fracture.
