Unfortunately, their lack of communication and open-mindedness caused an unwillingness to realize that by constantly arguing over what belongs to who, they were making it hard for my siblings and I to share ourselves equally without offending a parent. Patience is a virtue, and I found that sometimes, however hard I tried, it’s impossible to negotiate between both of your parents. I shouldn’t tear myself trying to decide how to fairly deal with each situation where I must decide which parent to involve. I feel that my siblings were hurt more by the divorce than I was, and their behavior became more defensive to each parent. My siblings and I have become closer; we work together to ease the effect of the disagreements between our parents so they don’t feel that their home is inferior to the other. I feel that it’s best to be patient and persistent to figure out a smooth and convenient way for both of my parents to take part in the activity; if I have an event with my mom one one of my dad’s days, I’ll find a way that my dad will be able to participate and take responsibility as he would if I’d be doing something with him. Of course, it’d be quicker if they could figure something out between themselves, but if I want something to turn out efficiently and quickly, I solve the conundrum
