3 thoughts on “What were your parents doing at your age?”
I’ll be the first comment. At my age, my dad had already passed at the young age of 49. My mother remarried to the worst guy in the world. (Just about!). I was moved out, my mom had her own hairdressing business.
My parents separated and filed for divorce during my senior year. It was a difficult time; my father seemed to distance himself from us as well. Just before my 18th birthday, I left home to escape the pain and drama. When I think of my father, I see three different versions of him. The one I remember most fondly is the father who stopped drinking, became a scout leader, and embraced being a true family man. Those were the good times, and I try to hold on to those memories. Still, there are moments when I struggle and wonder why he chose to leave us.
Good for you being able to say it in the first place and I don’t know your age, but no matter that’s a part of healing. I must of hit something because my post was abruptly ended and I didn’t realize 🤷🏻♀️
