Divorced!
My name is Beverly, and I've lived
with my dad since he and my mom divorced. They've been divorced for
three years now, from the time I was seven years old. Right now I am
having a hard time with a lot of things, especially because my
brother and I haven't been getting along.
Without my mom around it is hard for
me and my brother to do things together. It's not like how it used to
be before my mom left. Before she left my brother and I always used
to talk to each other and do a lot of things together. And we'd get
along with each other. Right now it's like we are enemies towards
each other.
Since my parents divorced, my dad
let's us call my mom only once a week. I think that hearing from my
mom once a week isn't enough because she and I always used to talk to
each other when we had problems or when we just felt like talking.
Every time we'd get the chance to talk to each other, I'd tell her
about how things were going and how l was doing.
One day I decided to go and talk to a
counselor about what I was going through. I asked her if she could
help me with my problems. She told me that she could, and I told her
all about my parents' divorce and what it had done to me and my
brother.
After talking to the counselor, I
went back to my brother and told him that maybe if we talked to our
dad he might try to get back with our mom. We tried talking to him
when he wasn't busy, but he told us that he was not going go back to
our mom. Then he told us why he doesn't want to go back with
her.
After the talk with dad, my brother
decided to go and live with my mom since he wouldn't be able to see
her as much as he wanted. I wanted to go too, but since only one of
us could go, I decided to stay with my dad. And really, staying with
my dad is not bad at all.
