Centrifugal force
It seems the parents are fighting again. I'm too old to be worried about major life changes due to them splitting up. It's not like I'm 10 and entirely dependant. But still, I don't believe in divorce. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist, but it seems strange that my Catholic parents would want to split up and just ignore the whole mortal sin, illegal stuff they supposedly believe in. It's a very confusing thing for me, this bureauocracy (sp?) of religion.
But most of all, I'm saddened. With my teenage sister acting up, and my parents fighting, I feel as though they're all going in their own directions and I'm the one that's going to be left standing around, wondering where my family went.
I suppose this is intended to make me stronger. Or at least more patient. I could use a vacation, though.

sorry to hear that - but sometimes divorce is for the better. i mean - it beats making your family go through all the fighting. a vacation might do some good .. . might i suggest somewhere with a very nice beach? :p

it will be hard but you just have to allow your parents to be human just as you are human. catholicism, like all faiths based on the teachings of jesus, emphasize love, forgiveness and grace over laws, sin and judgement. as difficult as divorce is on everyone involved, kindness, understanding, acceptance and love are more needed now than ever!
i hope you have lots of places where you can turn for the love and support you will need in case your parents become to engrossed in their drama to remember you are the innocent victim of whatever problems they are having!
namaste!
