I remember when I was about 8 years old I was sitting outside on my swings. I was shy at the time and I always thought about things everywhere I go. I mostly thought about my parents fighting, it was always a mystery to me of why they had always fought. I had known that someone in a relationship shouldn’t fight much because it’s not normal. People who love each other can fight sometimes but not every day that means something’s wrong in their relationship and that’s bad. I remember one specific day when my parents were fighting, my dad had seen me hiding behind a wall and listening to them. He called me over and told me “If mom and dad ever fight, please tell us to stop, you won’t ever get in trouble, I promise.” Even after that day I would never ever tell them to stop, I was just too scared to, I had loved my parents equally and I loved them very much have had many good times with them, they make me laugh and smile. So when I was still on the swings my parents had come outside to check on me. I looked a little sad but I was alright. They were worried so they had asked me what was wrong. I just stayed quiet because I didn’t want them to get into a fight over it. “I know why your sad Mialani, it’s because mom and dad are fighting.” , how could she know , it was like she was reading my mind, I knew something bad was going to happen after that, and sadly it did. “I’m sorry Mialani but mom and dad are getting a divorce.” She starts crying then they get into a fight again. I didn’t really know at the time what a divorce was but if she was crying, it must have meant something bad. I then climbed up my treehouse and watched them fight while I cried myself hoping this ends. So here I am now, 4 years after my parents divorced. I’m just a 12 year old in 7th grade who plays the French horn and likes to write. It was my entire fault and I can do nothing to fix it. It changed my life forever, if they didn’t divorce I would still be shy, wouldn’t have my friends that I have now, and especially I wouldn’t have met my beautiful new family. Thank you guys for reading this story, it truly means a lot to me. It may seem boring and I can understand that. I just wanted to share my story. Please no rude comments, thank you.
