My parents -divorced and happy

so now i want to tell u about my parents. i luv them but damn can they be stupid. they used to fight all the time when i was a kid. it didnt really effect me cuz i was just used to it. they stayed together just to make me happy but really it made them miserable and i new it. one day when i was 10 they were fighting in the kitchen and it got physical when my mom slapped my dad across the face. he called her a stupid cheating whore and she went at him with claws drawn like a lion ready to pounce. dad turned to leave and saw me standing in the doorway. they both tried to appologize to me but i just said "why dont u just get a divorce already"// they finally agreed and they have both never been happier. they actually get along so much better now that they dont live together. some people just are not meant to be together for eternity. mom married the guy she was cheating on dad with. his name is joe and hes pretty cool. much better for mom than dad was. dad is now dating shawna and shes pretty cool too. im really not that kid in the storybooks who wants their parents to get back together. i saw what it did to them and im happier now that they are happy.

things never got ugly like in most divorces. sure there were hard times and they debated over what to do with me. both of my parents love me and i know that so it was hard when they asked me who i wanted to live with. they let me decide. i ended up chosing mom cuz i think she needs me more. i know shes got joe but i think she needs me there on a daily basis to just be happy. dad loves me and its not like he makes me feel unwanted but //its hard to explain.

so dad moved shortly after the divorce to north carolina. and mom and i stayed in PA. dad had gotten a job and financially he needed to move. it was actually sad for all of us. change is never an easy thing but he had to move. i didn't get to see him for like 6 months and it was really hard. so mom and i talked and we came down to visit. she mostly stayed in a hotel and i stayed with dad but what i didnt know is that mom was job hunting in the area while i was with dad. mom found a job with a local finance company and we moved within the next month. it was hard to leave my friends behind especially carson//but it really was the best for our family. joe found a construction job pretty much immediately and is working a lot. mom works monday through friday and of course dad has his job with the garage.

weve been here since october and im adjusting // but i miss carson the mostest.
