BROKEN family.
Everything they once knew.. the happy family they saw in all the photographs, no longer exists.
The smiles were lies, the love their parents once showed to each other, they will never see again.
For a child, this is the hardest thing in the world to understand. Mom and Dad won't live in the same house anymore. I have two bedrooms. Mom has a date tonight.. not with Dad.
They don't teach you about this kind of heartbreak.
At first it was devastating. The tears wouldn't stop and the confusion was captivating.
Now, it is the new normal. Dad has a girlfriend, and she has kids. Four new people in my life.
My family doesn't seem broken anymore, if anything it is more whole than ever.
Dad is happy, and Mom got what she wanted... now I can see this was what needed to happen.
Sometimes you need to lose everything, to realize what you had.
