Personal Narrative: Divorce At Home

I grew up believing that everything happens for a reason, and everything will have a positive side to it, no matter how bad it may seem. However, when my mom came to my brothers and I and said that she was going to move out and get a divorce from our dad, the world stopped turning and I knew that things were going to take a turn for the worse. There had been little details and signs that I should have payed more attention to, but I didn’t. After that I knew that things were going to be different. I didn’t know who I was going to live with, and I understood that one parent typically pays the other child support, and I didn’t want either of my parents to have to do that. After that, the vibe at home was very tense, with my mom and dad fighting,
Things began to not add up between what my parents were saying. So I began paying more attention, and realized some major signs were right in front of me. My mom wasn’t always truthful, and my dad could have handled situations better, and with less anger. Both were at fault, and I began to see the side that I have never seen before. And while it isn’t the best thing in the world, I’m glad I found out what I did. I realized that things my mother said were not always true, and that she was doing what she could to get my little brother and I to live with her in order to make sure she would get child support money. I didn’t know how to feel about this, and I tried to wrap my head around why she would do that. I understood that she was doing what she could to have enough money to get by, but she could also work for it, like my dad did my entire life. Now, months after the divorce was finalized and my mom moved out, things are still tense between all of us. The arguments still happen, the struggle of bringing all of my things back and forth is still an issue, and life is not easier
