I Turned Out Okay Even Through The Splitting Of My Family.

Trust me, its not the end of the world if your parents get divorced and I have realized that now that I have grown into a hardworking 21 year old women.

When I was in fifth grade my parents got divorced. I can remember the day my dad broke the news to me like it was yesterday. Honestly starting to write this may bring back some memories, but it’s okay, because like I said having divorced parents is okay. 

When my family split up I felt like I turned into the mini mom. At the time I did not like all the responsibilities I had but I feel as it has shaped me into who I am today. My family seriously took on a big change and it was hard for all of us.

The divorce was bad, and I remember how stressed my father was, and even thinking about it breaks my heart. My dad was so stressed with the breaking of our family and I feel as if that reflected on me. 

I have a huge heart, sometimes I almost feel like its too big. I literally feel people’s emotions. I remember when my dad told me that he was not going to be with me every day and that we would switch off days with my mom. I ended up moving in with my dad fully because I hated the switching off and it brought us to become BEST FRIENDS.

At the time don’t get me wrong I absolutely HATED the idea of not being with both parents but I needed to feel like I was all in one place. I loved my parents, both of them and I did not want this to make me distant from either of them.

I did not expect my family to turn into the Brady bunch but it sure did as I already had three of my own siblings. Later down the road my parents both found happiness with different people who had kids. The joining of our families I also hated but looking back on it now I am fine with it.

I was able to become more independent at a young age. I took on a lot like a sister. I had to guide my sisters down the right road because I love them so much. My brother is older than me so he of course helped me but we all really got closer to us siblings because of this.

So at the end of the day, its okay if your family goes through a hard time because trust me no love can truly be broken like family.

Today I am 21 years old and I adore every single person in my family no matter what has happened. I thank god every day that I have siblings because they have seriously been with me through it all.
