The Big Split
This event shaped who I am. Its not a very positive event, it shed some light on me as a child, wondering if it was my fault that my parents were not together. I always blamed myself for their differences, I held myself accountable for their actions. Now every time I feel at fault for something I didn't cause I feel like I have to make it right. -
New relationships
After my mom divorced her next husband, she met a women named Scarlett. This was somebody who had both as a positive and negative effect on our household. She was a good person who I admired. She would go on to teach me things that I would need later on in life. I always appreciated her supporting our family. I learned how to respect other people and many other important life lessons that would later help me in life. -

The Truth
After many years of wondering why my parents weren't together I finally figured out why.

This thought lingered in my head, daily I just wanted to know why he did the things he did. This made me determined to be better than my father was. A better man, a better person. -
Leave a message
During the summer of 2016 my father tried to contact me, At first I thought about answering the call. I ended up taking a voice message from him. This voice message was saddening. He told me how his then fiancé had stole, cheated, and left him for a richer man. At first I felt bad for him, then it showed me how what goes around comes around. Since then I've tried to have good karma. It also showed me that people don't remember you until they think they need you. -
