Tormented Childhood

Divorce between parents

No child would ever want to go through the experience when parents decide to go through divorce. People told me a lot of bad things about my mother, practically turning me against her. Since I was 7 years old and a chance to be manipulated with they thought I would be too stupid to understand what was going on and who to be with. Of course the social worker and everyone else thought I would be better off living with my father than with my mother. Oh boy, they were wrong.

I still loved both of my parents though, but at some point when you get older you begin to question their morals. As a child who still doesn't understand the reason of divorce between two people, you tend to wonder if it's your fault.

After the divorce my mother went to Denmark for a year, she was offered some work as the sous chef. I was devastated and wondered why she couldn't stay with us in England. I still don't understand it. A year after that she went to live in Iceland, because her sister moved there when she went to Denmark. So I was practically left alone with my dad.

I had troublesome years living with my dad. He had this hobby that caused a lot of problems, he collected every junk he saw. The most weird part is that I can't even imagine how I could've had washed myself in a house that had no showering system not even a bathtub. It was so humiliating to live there. The second floor was unfinished and what made things worse, his junk was laying all around the house, even the garden was a mess.

When mother was living with us, she always tried to keep the place clean. I'm not suprised that she gave up and left, I would have done the same. I didn't have any friends at all, well until I began my school years.
