Everyday when you hear parents fighting you always wonder if going to get divorced. You try everyday to picture what it would be like but you can’t! Until that one day when it actually happens. It’s a nightmare that you never wanted to have but in the end you can’t control it!

When my parents told me that they were going to get divorced I was petrified. I didn’t know how to react. I got all of these mixed emotions and I didn’t know if I could live my life knowing that my parents weren’t going to be together anymore. My parents told me that it would be the best thing for them because they weren’t getting along anymore and that one day we will see that this was the only thing they could do to save our family. I had a really hard time accepting the fact that we were not going to be a family anymore until I realized that maybe this could be the right thing to happen!

As someone who has experience with this situation I would say to try not looking at this as a bad thing but to look at this as a new beginning to life. Yes it may be hard to live with the fact that you have become one of those people who’s parents have gotten divorced but in the end it could turn out to be a good experience. Three years ago my best friend told me that her parents were getting divorced and that she was ok with it because now she has a closer relationship with her parents and that she likes her parents not fighting anymore.

I think that even though we will never be the same family anymore it’s still a chance to have a new family. I think personally that as long as my parents are happy then it doesn’t matter who they are with regardless if they are my mom or my dad.
