“My own parents divorced when I was six. I was raised with my brother Joel by our mother on the East Coast, visiting my father in Los Angeles during holidays. When your parents are divorced, you don't know anything else, do you?”

Meaning

This reads as a plain account of how divorce shaped a childhood without turning it into a tragedy or a lesson. It can be taken to mean that family life may still feel complete even when it is split between homes and routines. It lands for anyone whose idea of normal grew out of shared custody, holiday visits, and two separate versions of belonging.
