The Ugly

Unfortunitly my dad was right about when he said that the ugly is that families are ripped apart. If you are thinking about having a divorce, don't. It is an experience your children, if you have any, will never forget. Even if you divorce when your children are young they'll still ask you "why are you and dad separated?" or "how come we never see dad?" if you don't have kids...I'm sorry but I don't know way to say.

Divorce: the bad

The bad parts about divorce are that I'm always moving first I'm with my dad then I'm with my mom then I'm with my dad again etc. It's just one big cycle, and once I get used to one parent I go to the other. The other bad part is vacations I'm always missing the other parent wheather it's 5 days or a week and a half, if I'm at the beach or in the jungle, I'm always missing the other parent.

Divorce: the good

When my parents got divorced I met my mom's boyfriend, Henri. Henri is deaf, he has been deaf since he was 3 years old. I thought it would be pretty cool having a deaf person in the house, and I was right. Last year I found out that Henri was going to marry my mom, I was extreamly happy. I love Henri and all my friends think it's cool that he's deaf. I am fluent in American Sign Language (ASL) so I know how to communicate with Henri when my mom is not in the house. Because I know ASL I can have a conversation with henri's friends. I sometimes wish my mom and dad were together again, but when I think about then I would have never met Henri.
