Most Important Day

...

really hard seeing my mom with a man other than my dad, she’s happy and that’s all that matters. My mom was going to be with this man for the rest of her life and I realized that was never going to change.

In addition to my mother remarrying, my dad also remarried and I gained a little brother. Although my stepmom and I have a great relationship, I was never able to get that close to her because like I said before, I was separated from my father and barely ever saw him. Sometimes I wish I would have lived with him sometime in my life to experience the difference between living with my mom and living with him but unfortunately, I was never able to. Now that I am 19 years old, I feel like it’s too late to decide to move in with him so I would never have the chance again and I’m not getting any younger so that would never change.

In conclusion, my parents’ divorce would have to be the most important day in my life because that was the day my life had changed forever. Although my life had changed drastically in good ways and bad, I look at the divorce as a positive event to have happened in my life. I also look at what I gained from the divorce as in I gained two more siblings along with two more families who loved me just as much as their own when I wasn’t related to them in any way. Although the divorce affected me, I am more than grateful that it happened because if it weren’t to have happened, I don’t think I would be the woman I am today. So with that being said, the divorce changed my life forever in both negative AND positive ways. My parents’ divorce may have been a horrible experience in my life because I was so young but looking back at it now that I’m older, I understand why it happened more than I did before. I realized that in life, things happen for a reason and no matter how much I hated it, my parents only wanted the best for me and my brother and they felt like getting a divorce would be much better than pretending they loved each other when they really didn’t. Even though I would do anything to get my parents back together, I had to accept the fact that things would never change and be thankful that they still loved my brother and I just as much as they did before the divorce.
