| The D-word, it's most people's worst fear, but, in a bittersweet way, it was my greatest joy. In divorce, you gain something and you 1 something. I'm thirteen years old, and I know what it 2 like when parents split up, because mine did last fall. My parents had been 3 for years. When my father started cheating my mom things went downhill, I 4 they would divorce instantly. I tried to picture my life after my parents 5 up-living at my mom's house during the week, and my father's house on the weekend. But my mom decided to be the bigger person and try to 6 it out, so that my siblings and I would know 7 it was like to have a family. Things didn't get better, 8 . I would always strain to hear the quiet 9 they didn't want me to hear. They weren't getting along and they weren't happy, My father has never really been there for me. He was there physically but not emotionally. He yelled a lot and never really showed any 10 in going to my piano recitals or watching my dance performances, 11 we asked him to do and he had another 12 -a lie. We just ignored it and went on with our lives as if nothing was the matter. Then last summer, there was real 13 in paradise. My siblings and I want out to Los Angeles to pursue acting and while we were out there, my father 14 my mom again, and this time my brother, sister, and I all found out. We decided to stay in L.A and leave my father in Florida. Our 15 resulted in divorce. We didn't know if we were making the right 16 or not. My mom went back and forth. She wanted what was best for her children. She asked me if I thought we should go back to Florida or stay in Los Angeles, I replied mom "There is nothing in Florida for us any more. Out here in L.A, we have so many 17 , that can come true. We shouldn't let him abuse us any more." Finally, we are free. The 18 was the best thing that had ever happened to me and the rest of my family. I now know that taking chances is the best thing to do. I accept that 19 doesn't always. If, in your heart, you can feel something that is not right, then follow your heart. In the end it's going to be your only true guide, to have and to hold, for richer or poorer, your heart will never 20 you down. | ||||
