My Life Of My Parents - 983 Words

When I was younger I never thought my parents would separate. I always thought they both would be there for my brothers and I no matter what. Growing up you are taught that moms and dads were supposed to stay together, through the thick and thin. I didn’t think in a million years that I would grow up seeing only one parent at a time.

I spent most of my time hiding my parents divorce rather than enjoying the fun times with my friends. I never thought anything would ever come between our family, but I was completely wrong.
