:( I know divorce is super common now but that doesn't make it any better. My family is broken in different ways but I can relate
You think that as an adult, a parent's divorce would have a different affect on a person. I saw the divorce coming for years, but once it finally happened, it still somehow caught me off-guard. What's been hard for me the most is the outcome of it. I always envisioned that I would have moved out of my childhood home on my own terms, not because my parents decided to abandon ship and I had to go down with it.
As I have expressed my feelings in this post, I put myself aside to help support the family, and now I've lost all of their support. The only family I have left is my younger sister, and she's more or less in the same situation that I am in. We're trying to figure out how to come into our own.
Anyway, thank you for listening and giving me all of your support. If it weren't for people like you, Clurr, I don't think I would have made it through this past year as I did. There has been great people in my life that has helped guide, mentor, and encouraged me along the way. Now I just need to figure out my dreams from here.
