her truth

getting the ball rolling

Has a few days passed from that one, Sandra and her father started to have really deep talks and he couldn't believe what she told him, however her father wasn't surprised, he was very observent and saw how Diego was with Sandra and what he would do and say in front of the girls.
To the living room, her father looked to her to eye over.
"So you and your other sister are going to see the lawyer?"
"Yes, I have a consultation with him."
Her father looked over Sandra with worry.
"If you two do divorce where are we going to go? I don't have that much money Sandra."
"I really don't know yet. Will have to see after I speak to the lawyer.'
"Why are you going to the one I had again?"
"Candra said to go to him, given he did good with yours when you divorced....."
Her father really looked over Sandra.
"Now, I can help you financially with this but Sandra you really need to think about it, divorces are messy.'
"I know that but I can't continue to be with Diego, the girls are watching, I told you what Emily did and said, she's only 5!"
Sandras father made a hard face to nod.
"This is going to be hard on the girls too, to see there parents split and everything."
"I know but this environment they are being raised in is not a good one. I want to make it better. I'm not going to try to take those girls away from him, I want 50/50 custody, I'm also not trying to take all his money, I just don't think we should be married or living under the same roof."
Her father looked over Sandra has she looked to him with worry, Sandra eyed him back with the same, however she had enough, for her daughter to have said what she did, Sandra knew they needed to get out of this situation.
Sandra then turned her head to smile to get up from the brown love couch to head to the girls who came in with her mother who took them for a little walk around the area, to then eye over Sandra with a smile, she looked to her.
"Thank you, was it fun?"
Emily ran passed Sandra to go to her father.
"We saw a train!"
Sandra laughed, they did live near a train Sandra then went to gather Sarah to then place her to get hip to eye.
"Did you have fun?"
Sarah looked to her mother with a smile to have flowers in her hand.
"Yeah yeah."
Sandra then turned for her mother to then have gone to the hall closest to place her shoes away to then turn to go about to then sit down on the couch to look to her father
"Well hello Robert, happy to see you up and about, how are you doing?"
Sandra looked to her parents to eye over them has she sat to the ground with Sarah to play with her she Emily to have hope, her parents were divorced and they were talking to the other and being friendly, she hoped when Diego and her got divorced they could be like that.
Sandra then made a hard face to look down.
She wasn't so sure about that.
Sandra then shrugged to really start to play with her girls to have another thought, she didn't know if she should tell her mom she plans to divorce, Sandras mother knew her relationship was not a great one but she didn't know to what extent.
So far the only people who knew of this was her father who was going to help and get her eldest sister who was going to help also. Sandra didn't know if she needed to tell others or if she needed to keep it to herself, Sandra knew not to tell Diego, he would just talk her out of it like he had been doing since she came home after having a panic attack at her doctor's office and she had to talk to someone about it, he also was saying a lot more mean things to her like it would be breaking up the family and other mean things, Diego wasn't the person who saw anything wrong with himself, he thought himself has perfect and everyone, especially Sandra was imperfect and just needed to listen to him with everything, he also thought Sandra did everything wrong, Sandra even started to apologize for breathing, that was how bad there relationship was getting and Diego refused to go to marriage consulting, Sandra literally couldn't keep drowning with this person any more and now the girls were seeing this and it was over the top for Sandra, she wanted to be a mother first and wife second and that is not what Diego wanted, Sandra knew she was just not the girl for him.
Sandra then was hit with a toy to then turn her head to eye her eldest Emily with narrowed eyes to then slowly get up, Emily widened her eyes to then start to run to laugh and hard, Sandra then ran after Emily to be laughing and hard for Sarah to then get up to start to chase them also, then her parents watched them, for Sandra to then look to the clock to stop to sign, she needed to get dinner on the table before Diego came home, Sandra had to explain that to Emily and Sarah to where they weren't happy but there was nothing she could do about this, Sandra also needed to keep doing everything has normal, she needed to talk to the lawyer and file for divorce before Diego could know about it and say this point she was just doing everything to keep the peace, has she didn't want to argue with Diego right now about this, it was happening and Sandra needed to get out of this environment and now, not just for herself but also for her girls, especially for them, this was not what they needed to be growing up with.
