This article is about my childhood memories of my parent’s divorce. It was not a nasty divorce, but a divorce is a divorce. No matter if it is an ugly divorce or a peaceful one, it is never pleasant to go through.
My mother is from Long Island and my father is from Charleston. My mom moved down to Charleston and they got married. I was born on March 6, 1991, in Charleston, South Carolina. I am an only child; I enjoyed all of the attention I got, and not having anyone to take it from me.
When I was about 4 years old, my parents separated. The divorce was a peaceful one, unlike other divorces that become ugly. Both my mom and dad both agreed that it would be best to get divorced. I did, of course, feel unhappiness, but I was still of young age and not capable of fully understanding what was going on. They fortunately remained friends. I remained with my mom in the house, and my dad moved into an apartment.
My dad frequently came over for dinner so that he could spend time with me. On one night after my dad came over for dinner, and he was about to leave, he came into my bedroom and
saw me looking out the window. He asked me what I was looking at, and I told him that I was waiting to watch his car leave and go home. I noticed that my father’s eyes began to sparkle. He picked me up and tucked me into bed. I do not really remember much about the divorce other than that one incident, but I have minor flashbacks when I see pictures of my mom, my dad, and me in my birth house. I feel lucky that my parents separated on peaceful terms rather that putting me in the middle of it.
As I became older, I started to go back and forth between homes. I started a routine schedule, almost switching homes everyday. I have become accustomed to this schedule, even though sometimes I run low on clothes at one house. I have learned to manage. I am now 14 years old and still become confused about which house I am at sometimes.
In Part 2 of My Childhood I shall discuss the constant moving I have gone through. I have moved more times than you can imagine. I have lived in almost every part of Charleston.
