• Sometimes, I think about why my parents divorced. At first I blamed myself. No. Then I blamed the economy. No. Then I thought back. My mother gave birth to a still-born baby. Yes, maybe. I remember my mom saying that my dad gave no support during this... I don't believe it. Now I'm back to blaming the economy, because my dad wouldn't agree to get a second job, but is that really enough to want a divorce? No. Why? Why would they do that to my childhood...could you imagine having memories of your parents getting flowers for each other, then now see your mother with a boyfriend getting chocolates for her, or remembering how your father would hold your mother, and see another man doing that now, it's scaring. Not only that, but every one of your friends have non-divorced parents and have no sign of hate towards each other. It's embarrasing.
