What I went Through During My Parents Divorce

As long as they talk it out t will be ok , right? I didn’t like the idea of having two of everything. I thought how do you divide 3 into 2 and then how would that work in different locations. I also wondered how my siblings felt about the situation. Were they as confused as I was and would this be a permanent change in my life?
I was about 4 years old when my parents got divorced. I always took blame for things that i knew wasn't me,but I wasn't really sure about this one. I hated my parents for getting divorced. I didn't really know what it all meant but i knew that i didn't like it. They always fought over the littlest things. For example who is going to cook, pick up the toys on the floor,why

    I will be the first to say that I am pretty lucky that I have not faced a difficult challenge in life that has stopped me from loving the people I love.

    That was a mentally scarring incident. I did not know who to trust; my dad would tell me one thing while my mother would tell me another. I started to think that the divorce was my fault and that that everything happening was because of me: I was such a disappointment that my parents both did not want me anymore. Depression hit and I stared at a knife every day contemplating suicide. I thought that maybe if I died then I could run away from these problems.…

As it is still growing and shaping, the young mind can be easily swayed by simple logic.…

    As a child, having rules to follow wasn’t unheard of with my family. There was always a way to behavior with friends/family, at school, at home and out in the street.

But out of all the people in my family my mom was the strictest. When expectations set high, not meaning them meant my siblings and I typical had a week long cleaning punishments along with handing over all toys, games, and light up sneakers; about three times a week this happened to me.…
