Can Divorce Be a Good Thing?
I was the type of precocious child that parents hate. I used to be a know-it-all; I thought it was my prerogative. My mother hadn't quite finished growing up by the time she had me and my brother. The most important things in her life were partying with her friends instead of reading bedtime stories. She didn't appreciate her oldest daughter telling her that she needed to buy groceries instead of cigarettes or that she had to pay the electric bill instead of going out to the bar and having drinks with friends.
Since my mom was not very responsible or good with money, I had to take on her role in the house. First to my brother who is younger then to my sister five years after that. It was a struggle at times, feeding them on macaroni and cheese, a dollar could get you four of them, bologna and ketchup sandwiches too, sounds bad but don't knock it until you try it. I think the first time that I made dinner for my brother and I, I was in kindergarden and our mother left us alone to play board games.
I look over their work and make sure it is all correct. Being a good student with less homework enabled me to assist them in the evening. When my mother helped, which was not often, I would constantly correct her errors. Going to classes was not her strongest skill.
Since the rent was always late we moved around two or even three times each year. These moves were always within the same three towns but it typically meant that I would have to change schools at least once a year. Switching schools became normal for me; from kindergarten through eighth grade I went to nearly 20 different schools.
Because we moved around a lot I had trouble keeping friends. In school, I was always known as the "new girl." Even if I was lucky enough to be back at a school where I had been previously, the few friends that I had made all made new friends while I was away. I just didn't fit in with them anymore.
Finally, my mother decided to divorce my father when I was 12 because she didn't want to be the adult in the family. It helped to relieve the financial and emotional burden for my family. We were forced to think about what was most important, like buying food and paying all the bills. We were able to live in a house for the following eight years after a long time of not being able. I think it was wonderful that my brother and sister had the ability to stay in just one school for nearly their entire school career.
