When I was in fourth grade something happened to me that made me very sad for a long period of time. My parents got a divorce, it was the most traumatic thing that had happened to me. I was nine years old when it happened and they both sat my brother,sister,and I down. Normally when they sit us all down they tell us someone we barely knew died or that we were going to go on a vacation, so I thought nothing of it. But they told us that they don’t love each other anymore and that they were getting a divorce. That is when it felt like I was in a movie where I see the suitcase next to the front door and they keep talking but it was like i couldn’t hear my parents anymore I had just been so confused. Why didn’t i see the signs? It had to of been me wasn’t it? Well, this is what every child thinks when their parents tell them they were getting a divorce.
My mother was crying at this time when we were in the living room. She told us that we could say the dirtiest word we have ever heard and I was speechless but my brother was yelling his brains off, and my sister only said a couple words because she was also in shock. My father though, he was very sad, this was probably the saddest I had ever seen him. He wasn’t crying but he was close, but everyone in the room was filled with sadness. Even my dog Maggie, she was in a good spot sitting in the middle of the room making sure everyone was okay.
I remember that was the worst feeling ever, thinking that it was your fault and wondering what you could've done to stop it. Now, I still am curious about what would’ve happened if they stayed together. But I am glad that happened because if they didn’t get a divorce they wouldn’t be happy and I would never of met my mothers boyfriend, or my step-mother or step-brother.
