My Fear As A Child 

I see Daddy had an angry face, while yelling at Mommy. Mommy looked sad with tears rolling down her face. I was crying,sad also confused!


One night the arguing woke me up. I heard them in the living room,screaming viciously at each other.


They didn’t know I was up and listening.

I heard Daddy saying, I’m leaving you!Im moving out! I asked myself, where’s Daddy going?Im sure he’ll be back!


Mommy was crying so much, so loudly.I wanted to run to her and give her a big hug. I didn’t know what to do,except cry myself. Daddy is leaving, but maybe, he’s just going to work? I really didn’t know what was going on, I’m only 11 years old.


Mommy told me what happened the next morning. She explained to me, but I really didn’t understand completely.Daddy and I love you very much, but he won’t be living here anymore! I started to sob again.Why Mommy? Is Daddy leaving because of me? Absolutely not!

Don’t ever think that!

We both love u to the moon! why is he going away? Well sweetheart, we are getting a divorce. What’s a divorce I asked? Mommy said, that’s when mommy and daddy’s don’t live together anymore. Daddy loves you very much. He will see you every weekend.I don’t understand what’s going on. Please explain, why is this happening??

Let me explain this to you, as best as I can, mom says.Remember,the Barbie Dreamhouse I bought you last year? Why don’t you play with it anymore?I answered, because it’s broken.It fell apart. Plus, mommy, I outgrew it.

Well sweetie, that’s similar to what happened to Mommy and Daddy. The marriage is broken. It can’t be fixed anymore. But,I want Daddy to stay with no fighting.That can’t be,Mom said!

Don’t worry your little head. You will be seeing daddy more now, than when he lived at home.

I believed Mommy and nodded my head.

A year has passed, since daddy left. I am happier. I see Daddy every weekend. He takes me to fun places.Mommy is always smiling now and looks better. Everything is calm now. No more arguing!. There’s also kids in my class, that have divorced parents.

So,that makes me feel better. I’m not the only kid, with divorced parents.. Mybiggest fear is gone.Mom and Dad don’t argue anymore!!! My inside body is not nervous anymore. No more crying. The best part is,I get to sleep with Mom,in her bed, every night!!!
