Divorced

The earliest memory I can think of is sitting in the back seat of a car listening to my parents scream and fight with each other. They've been divorced for about ten or so years now. It use to bother me a lot. I went through the whole, "Is this my fault?" thing. I don't either though. I'm old enough to understand that it was something to do with their relationship with each other, not me. Them being apart and me having two homes doesn't bother me too much. Yeah, I wish I could be able to do things on the weekends with my friends like "normal" kids instead of having to go and visit my mom and her two kids with her husband, but I try to make it work and for the most part it does.

What I don't like is how they continue to treat each other. When they decided to divorce each other they promised to stop fighting. They never really did. The past few years they have started to not only bad mouth each other not only around me, but too me as well. This really bothers me because I love them both so much. When you hear someone talk badly about someone you love you get upset and when the person you also love is doing the bad mouthing, it makes everything so confusing and hard and painful. I wish it would all stop.
