sometimes i sit in my room
and cry becuz of all the ruff things i've been through
i always said it wouldnt be me,
maybe thats why all of this is happening.

i wanted to believe that i was different from the othas
becuz i was raised by both my fatha and my motha
i always said i would nevah be a single parented kid,
now look at what i did.

they say nevah say nevah
but i did,
and now here i am
a single parented kid.

half way through highschool
with two younger sistas
who will not get the care that i did,
becuz now mommy and daddy no longer lives in the same household.

how do i tell them
that their big sister is their daddy now,
becuz daddy forgot how to be a daddy,
how do i look at them without tears in my eyes,
and say everything will be alright?
somebody tell me!
 
Welcome to Destee..guttapoetfromny

Divorce is hard to understand.. remain close to both parents and ask questions .. of both. I will come back later to expand.. but many familys break up and split.. dont let it take your spirt down.. No shame..my parents divorced.. it happens.

Welcome to Destee.. let your thoughts flow..
 
this piece touched home

my parents are in their 46th year of marriage
I hoped for the same longevity, but I learned
sometimes life doesn't play out
as we hoped and a situation
can seem so unfair.

my children had a difficult time when
my husband and I separated... I was
there for them and reassured them it
had nothing to do with them.
don't try to be a father figure or
replace your father with another male.
just pray for God's guidance and protection.
have faith and be the best big sister you can be.

my son and daughter turned out great!
I'm sure you and your sisters will too! :)

I FEEL YA MAN, I KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE BEING A SINGLE-PARENT KID, BUT AT LEAST YOU HAD A SMALL MOMENT WITH YOUR FATHER,
JUST LIKE MANY OTHERS I GREW UP WITHOUT MINE AROUND.
4 REASONS OUT OF IS CINTROL -HE HAD 2 LEAVE,(when i was3) BUT I KNOW HE LUVS ME,
WE HAVEN'T SPOKEN IN A LONG TIME-HE NOW LIVES THOUSNDS OF MILES AWAY, BUT HOPEFULLY I WILL BE RE-UNITED WITH HIM.
