English 2 Kerr 2/21/18 The Divorce I was about three or four when my parents started going through some things with their relationship. I never really understood why they did the things they did. They would always fight and end up yelling. I was too little to understand that in relationships you have ups and downs but what i didn't understand was that my dad had a problem. See my dad liked to drink. When he would drink he would do things that he didn't realize were wrong. My mom tells me to forget about the memories i have. But i can't. How can you forget seeing your mom get abused. There was one specific memory that is engraved in my mind. This memory is about the time my dad had gathered hs things and decided to leave. My mom at the time was clueless about what to do. I remember sitting on the couch every night waiting for a call. Waiting for a my dad to come back. But months passed and my mother realized she needed to put food on the table. Soon after this she got a job. She knew that she had to get through these tough times. Shes told me many times that if it wasn't for me and my brother she would of gave up. My parents were divorced but the problem didn't stop. See my mom is one of those people that no matter how much you hurt she will give you another chance knowing nothing will change. Because of this my parents where on and off even after the divorce. When i was about 7 my dad had called us saying he wanted us to move in with him in a small town called Normal. Everything was good, for the first year or two then the problems started to occur again. Growing up in this type of environment is difficult for a kid that just wants to be a kid, and run around the playground. I remember thinking that one day they would finally stop fighting and we could be the perfect family I wished for. The reason I chose to write about this topic is because it ha been a major even in my life.It has taught me that no matter how much you love something if it affects you negatively it shouldn't be in your life.
