Hey guys! I couldn’t really thing of anything I could write a blog over, and I really needed to do one. So I chose to write these 350 words over my parents being separated. Some of you may be able to relate to this, whether it was recent, when you were younger, or at a time you couldn’t remember. If you haven’t went through this experience, I hope it’s better that way. My parents tried so hard to stay together, I know they did. Mom always said she thought about leaving before my sister and I even came along. It happened when I was six. Mom moved to Lake City with my sister and I, while my older brothers stayed with my Dad in Rison. I still don’t know if it was worse being four hours away from my dad or my brothers. Over the years my parents were about, it taught me a lesson. Nothing in this world is made to last no matter how hard you try to make it that way. My parents had a good first few years and then it turned into “I’m doing it for the kids.” Eventually that excuse wasn’t even good enough anymore. It has taught me that I can’t be depend on anyone. My mom had to work hard as a single parent to support us, just like my Dad did for the boys. I love my parents equally. I used to hate them for breaking apart our family, but now I believe it made us stronger. Both my parents became independent and strong. My bond with my siblings grew stronger with it. At least in my opinion it did. I think my parents seperating had to be a great thing in my life. I became more independent because I learned that every time you need someone, they might not be there. Whenever I want to hug my Dad, 98% of the time he isn’t there, but I have learned to cope with just hearing his voice on the phone. It brought me to Lake City, and I actually love it. I grew up with a better school and education. Trust me, Rison is worse. I made life long friends, like Lexi B, Kaitlyn, Hailey, and Teressa. Also I have more opportunities. It wasn’t the best thing for my family at the time, but as the years pass, I think that it was the best thing.

I can relate to you. My parents divorced when I was in elementary school. At first it was hard and a big change. Even though my dad only lives in Jonesboro, it has taught me that I will not always have both parents at the snap of a finger. The divorce made me stronger mentally and more independent. It taught me to work even harder on the relationships in my life, because I know things cannot fix themselves. My parents are both happier seperated, so therefore I am happy. As weird as it sounds, if I could go back in time, I wouldn’t change a thing.

I remember when we left from Dad's. Mom drove us to Paragould and we went to stay at Aunt Crystal's house. We stayed in Paragould with family until Mom had enough to get us our own house. I remember I wanted so bad to just go back to Rison and live with Dad and our brothers again. Then as I got older, I realized that it was better that our parents split up. Yeah, it sucked that we had to live four hours away from Dad, but them being split up was better for everyone involved. That's all I got. - Tiffany F.
ReplyDeleteI can relate to this because my parents split up whenever I was in the sixth grade. At the time it was very hard and I was completely devastated when my parents told me that they were going to split up. When I was little I can remember I used to worry that my parents would split up one day but it never really crossed my mind that they actually would so when they told us it was like a slap in the face. As I have gotten older I can see now that it was for the best. My parents are both happy now and that's all that matters. I'm happy now as well because I have a great stepdad and it was just better on everybody. -Ally P
