The Changes In Life: The Story Of My Family

Improved Essays
The changes in life One day my family was the perfect fantasy: a mom and dad that loved each other… or so I thought. The next my family was torn apart. Not all families are meant to stay together forever, when you no longer love a person the way you use to sometimes you just have to let go so you don’t hurt them more than you already are and that just happened to be the case for my family. Having your parents get divorced is a very hard thing in general, but when you have to hear the story for the first time, deal with all the emotions, move from home to home every weekend, and go through meeting your parents new significant others it will make it a lot harder. It all started in the spring of my second grade year, I had everything going for me, but soon I was …show more content…
I went through my childhood not knowing how to deal with these new people coming in and out of my life. I went through meeting many new people during that time period, I’d start to fall in love with them like they were family, I’d fall in love with their kids and grow close with them and then all of a sudden it would all be taken away. I never understood relationships, I wondered why would you only want to be with someone for a short amount of time, I never understood the logic of my parents minds. Until the day my mom met my future step dad Dave, he brought this joy into her eyes that I hadn’t seen for the longest time. I later on fell in love with his daughter my future sister a future new best friend, but most of all I found a person I’d look up to for treating my mom with respect, loving her unconditionally, and never leaving her side. I never understood what she was doing until she found her best friend, her forever, then I understood what she had been searching for, she was looking for someone to love her

    Death is something that I wish would not exists. However that’s impossible.

    Fortunately, my mom was receiving child support from my father after the divorce, but not all parents can say that after a separation. There are many effects on children that come from a divorce and a select few of them include: major moving/family adjustments, being caught in the middle, and even relationship issues.

However, when a child is forced to move to a new house or even change to a new school, the excitement of traveling seems to diminish a bit.…

Fourth, the late separation is the time for real divorce and announce to other family members (McDonald 2016). Analyzing from my parent’s marriage, they experience a least three stages of pre-separation phase. For the first stage, my parents may form the idea of divorce since they are lacking communication and easily fighting each other but it was not very clear and affirmative because they did not display in front of children very much.

    Meeting my Father The Memoir “All Over but the Shoutin’,” by Rick Bragg he tells us about his trip to his fathers house and how there was a flood of different emotions and realization because of it. This story really reminds me of times when my siblings and myself would go see my father when we were younger. It was kind of (emphasis on “kind of”) what Bragg was going through except my mother and father decided it would be in good interest for everyone if they just split up when I was much younger. Ok so it wasn 't much of a mutual split, my father decided that he wanted to be with another women, still he was out of our lives.
