How long has this act been going on? Weeks? Months? Years? ALL MY LIFE ?! They walk around here like they are just as happy as can be but in reality they're getting a divorce. This is absurd. I thought my parents would be together forever because they took their vows pretty serious; well at least to my knowledge they did. I know they loved each other very much, how could they just throw away that love? The marriage? ME ?FOR CHRIST SAKE.
As a family, we always did things together. We always had a good time and we always had fun. So for them to get a divorce, I'm shocked. What could have possibly went wrong? I never saw them have any real serious arguments. The arguments I witnessed were over why my dad didn't take the trash out or why my mom left hair in the sink. Those are small petty arguments so I know they can't possibly get a divorce over those things. Or could they?
Somehow I think this is my fault. I don't know how this could be my fault, but it could be. Maybe I'm showing my mom more attention than my dad and he got jealous and wants nothing to do with us anymore? Wait, no. This couldn't possibly be the reason. I show both of my parents equal attention, so I think I do.What else could possibly be a reason?
Why my mom and dad? I need answers.
I think out of all of the blogs I've read so far, yours was pretty straight forward and followed the prompt to a T. I've never been through my parents divorcing, but my cousin did and I vividly remember little things he experienced during it. He never really told me what he thought about it, but I feel like he most likely felt all these feelings in your story and more. I love how the character goes through every reason in her head as to who's fault it could be. That was cool to me for some reason. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Theo, and also really enjoyed this blog. It was interesting to me that this was the situation you chose for this assignment. I can understand now after reading through it how many possibilities could arise in ones mind about the topic of divorce. This was short and to the point but answered the prompt well.
