Think positive.
One of the hardest moments I had to go through was when my parents diverged from each other. After growing up with both of my parents it was hard for me to accept the fact that they couldn't be together anymore. I started to notice that they were having problems when I was fifteen years old. Every night they would just argue so much that it was hard for me to avoid it. During their arguments I just wanted to leave the house and come back until it was all over. Unfortunately, I did not have anywhere to go but stay in my room and cry. The only good thing about it was not having to go through it alone. My brother would always come inside my room and hugged me while I cried. This happened for about a year until they finally decided it was best if one of them moved out. My mom was the one that found a place on her own. After she left, I was really despondent. I was still in high school and it was hard for me to have my full attention to learn. I felt like I just wanted to relinquish in school and not do anything. But the one person who pushed me to do better was my brother. He would always try to keep me strong and helped me overcome this situation. Before I would always think why didn't my parents work things out and stay together. Now I faced the fact that it was the best for everyone and I just have to corroborate both of my parents. Up to this point it is still hard to have one parent not living with you. But I know that I have to keep pushing myself to do better in my future and not let it affect me as it did three years ago.

Hello Nancy enjoyed your blog and how you have learned to cope with the stress and pressures the separation of your parents caused you. Keep the line of communication always open between you and both your parents. Although they couldn't work things out between the two of them they very much love you. Having each parent available for you to talk too and sometime just being there will serve as source of comfort and protection . Keep up the good work girl !
ReplyDeleteI like your quote, "But I know that I have to keep pushing myself to do better in my future and not let it affect me as it did three years ago." I agree that pushing your yourself to do better can guide you to success.
