Divorce

Divorce from the perspective of the child:
I am a 14 year old girl. Recently, when I was 13, in February of 2014, my parents separated. They still aren't divorced today, in November 2014, but they're never getting back together (like the Taylor Swift song...). The only thing stopping them from divorcing is finances.
They were married for 20 years. My dad was my mom's first love. I am also an only child. When I was younger, I could never ever imagine my parents getting divorced.
Divorce sucks. Divorce really sucks. I'm still not over it. I was mad, and incredibly sad. I cried so so much in those first few days. My parents were fighting for a long time before my mom moved out, yet I still thought it wouldn't happen. My mom is happy. This divorce did everything to help her. My dad is not so happy. He cried more than I've ever seen him cry in my life. It was horrible.
I don't know where I'm going with this post but just please, if you have kids and are considering divorce, I'm not telling you not to, but just think of them, and your spouse. Remember to not just think of yourself. Try your hardest to work things out. Just try.
I love you all.
