*Trigger Warning* My story
Don't know if this don't help me or help anyone else but I'll give it a try because for some reason I just can't let go of the past and have never been able to talk about it before. So here it goes...
This is a story about a girl and her father. She was 7 years old when her mother and father decided they didn't love each other anymore and couldn't stand being together any longer. Instead of putting up with the unhappiness the mother decided it was best for them to get a divorce. Thinking that would be the best for herself and her children. Both parents tried to be as civil to each other as to relieve as much stress as possible for their children.
Mother seemed to be doing just fine with the separation. She had a couple different boyfriends but never dated anyone her children didn't approve of.
Father on the other hand found he was losing himself to depression. He decided to drown his sorrows away. He hardly seemed like the father the girl use to know so well.
The girl still enjoyed spending time with both of her parents. With her mom she would do her homework and have proper meals. With her father she would play and eat junk food. The rest in the comments...

Hi. My mum and dad broke up when I was 8 (pretty close to how old you were) except I think the role of my parents was reversed. My dad's a smart guy and he was strict enough to discipline me (as much as needed and no more). I lived with my mum who I love dearly but who let me do what the fuck I wanted. I doubt I would have ended up depressed, cutting or drinking if I'd have stayed with my dad. But I didn't. And that's that. I love both of my parents for what they've done for me (though they're far from perfect) and I still see my dad. The worst part is that they still slept together for years after they broke up which was confusing for me-they could get along well enough to fuck but not enough for them both to be there for their children. It's a shit situation but one that we have to live with. I hope that you're alright though xxx
