My dad traveled a lot for work, so when he first
moved out, it wasn't that much of a change.
I felt
like he was away on one of his jobs and would be home
soon.
Then my brother left for college.
Before I turned
around, it was just me and my mom.
|
As a result of living with my mom I definitely got a
biased view of why my parents split up.
I felt guilty
about that,
but whenever I asked my dad any questions
about the breakup he said:
"That's between your mother
and I."
Although true, I hated that answer. It didn't
explain anything to me and just left me
more puzzled.

I never wanted to take sides,
but sometimes it was
impossible.
This made me feel like I was
at a tug-of-war game with myself:
my crazy emotions versus my rational thoughts.
|
|
I used to get nervous because I thought kids of
divorcees inevitably ended up getting divorced too.
|
Now I just feel we are extra picky about
the people we choose to date.
