After my dad passed away, I was sure that my mom wouldnt marry anyone else. It was hard for my five year old mind to picture my mom with anyone but my dad. For four years I was good, then in 2007 my mom introduced me and my brothers to Ron. At frist Ron was nice and everything was cool. I had a father figure in my life, even though he could never compare to my father, it was nice to have him around.
When my mom got pregnant, things changed. After the whole excitement of a new little family member faded away, Ron proposed and me and two younger brothers were all asked one question- Are you okay with me marrying Ron?
My older brother was off in south carolina, going through basic training- he had joined the army just months before but thats a story to be told on a different date- so my mom didnt ask him how he felt but one thing I'm certain about is he didnt like Ron.
My two younger brothers instantly said yes. They liked him and had no problem with letting him marry our mom.
Me? I didnt answer and when I did I told my mom I would answer her on the next day.
Her reply? To Late.
The next day after school my mom and Ron gathered me,my two brothers and my two soon-to-be step siblings in the small living room of Ron's trailer. They annouced their engagement and when we broke apart from are little group- the three boys going to play and my older soon to be step sister staying and talking- my mom turned to me and said 'do you have your answer yet?'
Suddenly all eyes were on me, I shouldve said no but with all of them watching me I couldnt. I smiled and said yes.
A couple months later we went to my oldest brothers basci training graudation, On the way there my mom and Ron got in the fight and Ron threatened to leave My pregnant mom, my younger brothers and me in South Carolina. He didnt but well we werent at the hotel my mom took off her engagement ring so she could shower, when no one was paying attention Ron took it and hid it. That of course made my mom crazy, tearing the room apart so she could find it, well the whole time it was in Rons pocket.
The year went on and they were on and off before they made up and got married.
The years would go on with me and my younger brothers having to deal with Ron's teasing and taunting.
Some times my mom and Ron fight and just the other day my mom asked how me and my brothers would feel if her and Ron got divorced. We all said we would be alittle happier and she said okay.
Just thinking about them getting a divorce makes the future look brigther but another thing I should tell you is, this isnt the first time she as asked us and this isnt the first time that we have had this answer so I'm not sure if this is really the end or not but I am hoping for it.
