My family was the typical American family mom dad worked I went to school. My dad was a machnic and my mom cleaned houses. Then I remember like it was yesterday. Me and my cousin were at the skating rink just like any other Saturday afternoon. But that's when my moms friend Shannon came to get us instead of my mom. She said that my mom needed her to come get us but she wouldn't tell us why. That night was the last good night I had for 5 years. We stayed up late and watched slasher films then my mom came to get me. She tried to put on a fake smile but me and my cousin both knew something was wrong. When we got to my house she told me that she would be back in the morning and not to worry but again she didn't tell me why. I walked in the door and my dad was setting there on the couch you could tell he had been crying. I asked him what was wrong and he just told me to go to my room and not to come out for the rest of the night. I did as he told because even though I was only 10 I could tell something was wrong. That night I heard him crying but I didn't know why still. The next morning my mom hasn't come to get me like she said she would. And she didn't come the next day or the day after that. I didn't know why she was even gone I mean my parents weren't divorced so there was no reason for my mom to be gone for so long. Or at least that's what my little eleven year old mind could comprehend. My mom finally came but she never came in and I now know why. As soon as I got in the car she told me what was going on. "Me and your dad are getting a divorce." As soon as she said it I felt my world crumble underneath me. Then it just got worse as she went. "I'm pregnant and it's not your dads." It had felt like I was just hit by a bus. I didn't know what to say. I can still remember that feeling like it was yesterday. It now all started to make sense my dad crying my mom not wanting to see him everything. Why she worked every Saturday everything I really wish I could just go back and live when I still had a happy family I wish for that every birthday when I blow out my candles even five years later I still wish for that.
