Personal Narrative: My Experience With Divorce
" Hey kids we need to talk about something," mom says. My brother, and I look at each other strangely. Ethan asked "what do you need to talk to us about mom?" Divorce the legal dissolution of a marriage. This is what happened to my parents in August of 2009 they got divorced. It was a very big challenge for me to face. At first it was just a separation which happened in 2007 then slowly turned into a divorce. I was young so I did not understand a lot of it. After the divorce I had to change my schedule completely. It felt really weird because I had to go to different places every other weekend. My parents had joint custody of me and my brother so I lived with my mom. I did not get to see my dad as much as I use to. Plus my dad worked
at a truck company so he would have to drive from state to state a lot. Since he worked at the truck company that meant that I only got to see him about once a month.Not spending much time with him really took a toll on me. In the year of 2010 I perceived to be someone different not me though. I could not comprehend what began to go on. When I began not to be myself I had to start putting on a fake smile around people, friends, even my family. When I would put on that fake smile it felt like someone was stabbing me from inside it hurt so bad. I did not like who this person happened to be I became very frustrated. I wanted so badly to find myself again I just did not know how. In between the years of 2011 and 2012 that is when the finally found myself. It took awhile but I accomplished it. I started making more friends I became less shy than I use to be. The fake smile and the bad hurting sensation went away. My heart and myself filled with so much joy. It has been six years since the divorce my dad is remarried and my mom has a boyfriend. My parents get along better and I am so much closer to them than I ever have been. It is so much better now and I am way more happier than before.
