Divorce: A Personal Narrative Analysis

Superior Essays
Divorce is a radical life changer, for all involved; siblings, mother, father, uncles, aunts, grandparents. Everyone related.
It all started on March 2010. My mom found out that my dad was having an affair. He never said so, but it became clear that it had been going on for some time already. It was with a woman at his work, so he could see her freely without any suspicion from us.
My mom kicked him out of the house, and he came and went for a while. He would visit us once in a while, but it was very awkward and I was very hostile towards him. He would sometimes let us sleep over at his house or go someplace with him, but I never went. I was through with him. He had crossed the line and there was no going back with me.
He attempted to give my mom an apology right after the whole thing had blown up and become known, and go back to the way that it was, but my mom told us that it was such a joke. And this was true. He was never going to change. He ran out on us again the next day. His heart was set; he was out of our household. He had blown it and none of us felt any love towards him anymore. And he didn’t bother going to church anymore either.
And since he didn’t have a house to call his own anymore, he kept jumping around, staying at friends’ houses or at the other woman’s house

I dislike him very much for what he did, so much so that I will never ever considering doing it as well, just because he did. And to be completely honest, because of the transportation issue, church can seem inconvenient sometimes. We have to walk in the pouring rain, no matter what. We have to walk in 35°C blazing sun, no matter what. And while this can make church seem unattractive on extreme weather days, it also builds up strength in you to always go to church, no matter what. Because I’ve grown up this way, nothing short of being seriously ill will stop me from going to church, for the rest of my

    He would always shout at her, and say how useless she was. One day, however, he took the argument to the next level. I remember coming home one day from school to them arguing in the living room. Then all of a sudden he shoved her and she fell on the ground. I was so shocked when I saw this, but even more when he proceeded to grab her by the hair and drag her across the floor.…

    This is a story about a boy and a girl. Boy meets girl, they fall in love, have great times, and it all ends Romeo and Juliet style. Well something like that, but my story focuses more on the end of our typical teenage relationship, the break up. The sad, gushy part that no one ever wants to talk about, but withholds so much learning material. The part that truly holds the juiciest information and is the one that really changes a person.…

    Any time that I wasn’t working or at school was wasted if I wasn’t spending it with him, so I wasn’t allowed to leave the house without him. The one time I dared go to the beach with my friends he yelled at me in front of my best friend and called her a bitch. He threw out my clothes that he didn’t approve of because he didn’t want other guys to see me in revealing clothes. (I live on a hot island off the coast of Texas, shorts are necessary, y’all). He didn’t like that I was/am vegan, so he’d constantly buy large quantities of dairy and throw them away in front of me if I refused to eat them.…

    School administrators suck. When they informed me their system glitched and I was signed up for the wrong type of Anatomy class, I handled it rather well. When they told me that I couldn't switch and that I and I quote, 'will have to suck it up and deal with it,' I thought, I handled it just as well. Only if you count that the head of baby Cupid in front of the main building would be kicked into the parking lot and knocking a freshmen out cold, handling it well. I felt really guilty that, that freshmen had to be on the receiving end of my short burst of rage.…

    It’s weird to think about my life up to this point in time. I’m a 23 year old college student who’s so focused on making it through a 16 credit hour semester on top of working full time that other than current events it’s strange to think back on my life and what all has happened. I grew up in a nice neighborhood on the east side of Sandy, Utah. The house I lived in was large, much like the other homes in the area. But unlike the other homes this house was just a front to hide the very dysfunctional pieces of my life.…
