Was 18 when my parents broke up, It feels like I was a child still -looking back. Literally 18 - My parents broke up 1 week after my 18th birthday - I guess there wasn't any custody issues then, as I was the youngest. It made it easier for them. T.b.h. It was exciting at first. A whole new world, lucky I'd been already buying furniture, bedding & kitchen stuff the 2 years prior when I was with my first love (Ohh, and a hot car). My ex & I stayed at that house for 2 months, (until the house was sold). My parents we're going through the process of divorce. I then moved to my grans for 10 months and continued working full-time + working nights on the weekend in another industry. It was hard adapting to my grandmothers ways - there was such an age gap between us. But, I'm so thankful she took me in for that time, and I've many great memories of her (she since died), she had such a great sense of humour. I moved from there to an aunt & uncle's in a township closer to my friends. After two months there, I finally found my own place!!! It took me 46 rental applications & walk-through's to get my first place. I decked it out with all my stuff, and had a blast for years!! (Keeping a good report with my (stranger) landlord) Basically, it effected me moving around alot!!

There were also negative points to it... wan't to hear? Like, I was stuck in the middle between them (my parents) because they'd argue and use me as a means of communication, because they couldn't sort shit out themselves. I hated that. There was a time it got physical, too. That will never go away. They are both happier now, and that's what life is all about right - and, I have the most awesome memories growing up, and my parents just being so chill. All the positives that came out of their divorce now far out-weighs the negatives. And, as I age, I wouldn't go back & change any aspect of anything. Things are good!!!
