A New Family
Hello. My name is Jonathan Stone and
this is the story of my parents' divorce. Their names are Richard and
Samantha and they got a divorce when I was about eight years
old.
It started one night when I heard my
parents arguing downstairs. I went to watch them in a corner while
they were fighting. I remember them crying and me being very scared.
The next day when I woke up my father was packing to leave. I asked
him where he was going and he said, "On a trip, boy, and I won't be
back for a while."
After that I only heard from him a
couple times a month and saw him only a few times a year. I kept
thinking it was because of me that they separated. Once and awhile I
would go visit him and stay the night. During those times we would do
something fun like go to a movie, a fair or go fishing. When it came
time for me to go home he would tell me to take care of my mom, and I
tried my best. Once in awhile I would ask him why he didn't stay with
us anymore and he would always find a way to change the subject. I
would ask my mom the same thing but she never said
anything.
One day when I was about eleven years
old my mother started seeing other guys and when she brought one home
to visit I got very mad. I thought that was my job because of what my
dad said, to watch over her, and maybe also because of the thought of
having a new father. I thought that way until my father came over to
visit. He said it was all right for her to do that because he was
seeing other people too. After that it didn't bother me. Some of the
guys she brought over I didn't like and others were OK.
By the time I was sixteen it was all
behind me. My father was already remarried to a gal by the name of
Sharon, and my mother finally found a guy we both liked whose name
was Mike Larry. They were going out for a year when they told me they
wanted to get married. And it was OK with me. The guy had a daughter,
Maxine, who was a year younger than me. I thought she would be OK as
a sister because she wasn't really snobby or anything like
that.
In a couple of months I would have a
new family, and hopefully this one will last awhile.
