Divorce-Personal Narrative

Improved Essays
People’s parents fight, that not unusual. Some get divorced, or they stay together. They don’t always agree on things, but in the long run they still love each other. My siblings and I, are so used to my parents fighting, that when they do, we just don’t care anymore, or the decision they make and what to do with it. Over the past few years the fights have been out of control, they last for days, they won’t talk to each other, and when they do they just yell back and forth with each other. The fights are over the smallest things, but then they bring up the past into the argument. My sophomore year of high school was the worse one yet. My mom packed her bags and left and rented a house, my older sister left with her and so did my younger brother. I just didn’t know what to do …show more content…
It just seemed that everyone else didn’t want to hear about what was going on and how I felt about the situation. They were on the verge of getting a divorce. I would always tell my sister and her boyfriend that I just don’t care what they do, they just need to figure things out. I never told anyone I didn’t trust about my parents situation only a handful. What I did tell them, was my parents are fighting and my mom moved out to get space from each other, it wasn’t a big deal.

    Conflict is the resulting tension of two or more parties who are unable to, at least in part understand, empathize with, or tolerate an idea or behavior. This tension can be expressed through words, violence, segregation, or disassociation with the opposing party. As Thomas Kilmann theorized, it is rare that a conflict, even of mild consequence, is disconnected from other factors, but rather that conflicts are cradled in a nest of emotional investment, moral beliefs, and political ideology.

This essay will therefore analyze a conflict…

    Let 's start at the beginning I was born Monday, March 16, 1998. I was born in a two parent family and lived with both parents together until I was about four years old. Shortly after my baby sister, Shanelle was born in 2001 my parents separated.
