What I'ive overcome
I was three years old when my mom and my dad had a divorce. I was too young to know what was happening, but when I was five years old my mom told me what was going on. I did not get to see my dad again for a long time. I was twelve years old. One day my mom came in my room and said to me, “We are going somewhere, get your shoes” . She told me that we were going to see someone I did not know it was going to be my dad. When we got there i was my dad outside of a store waiting for me. I jumped out of the car and ran up to him and gave him a hug. Then I got to stay the night with him. We stayed up all night and played video games.
My mom and my dad got in a divorcee because my mom was stressed out and was drinking. And my dad was always worried when my mom went out that she would do something bad or cheat on my dad. One a my mom was go out with her friends to hang out and dad was following her the whole time she was with her friends. Then one day they were talking then my mom said, I want a divorce.
It changed me because I did not see my dad for a long time I was like 5 years old I did not see my dad again until I was 12 years old. When I got to see my dad again I was so happy but .He lives down in Tennessee so I only get to see in December and in the summer. It also when he left I had to do more chorus and my mom had to go to work more. We had to for about 12 years until my mom found a boyfriend. He helped me out and mom and my sister. He had kids to about my and my sister age.
When my mom and my dad had a divorce me my mom and my sister went to a place where we tell people
