In Praise of Their Divorce by Satu https://padlet.com/pirittapirpana/xwb6ac3q9xc5 The 6-year-old child en-us 2018-08-15 12:21:36 UTC 2026-02-03 15:20:33 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/pirittapirpana/xwb6ac3q9xc5/wish/273664836 They used to spend time together and take care of me
as their collective job
But now they don’t even talk to each other
Its like they’re not even friends
not anymore
They both seem sad
and I want to help them
If only knew
If only knew why they were acting this way
 I only see them happy when they’re separated
but together
Together they seem deeply depressed 

Maybe that is the only solution for them; to be apart

Before this day, I never really understood why they were acting this way

but know I think I get it.

 Mom and dad are not in love anymore. 
Their love is as dead as my rabbit that I forgot to feed.
 The only thing I can do is to watch them fall apart. Great.

I came home from school, and I could hear my parents screaming at each other in the kitchen. It was like a war between cats and dogs, my favorite time of the day. I went out to the kitchen and was just starring at them. They looked up and asked me to go into my room. It wasn’t the first time I was asked to do that but this time it was different. I was sitting in my room and could hear everything they said. I was really sad and worried, I tried to sleep, but I couldn’t. And then I started to cry, I didn’t understand why they were so mad at each other, but I found my teddy bear that helped me stop crying. The next day when I went down to the kitchen, my parents told me, that they were going to be divorced. https://padlet.com/pirittapirpana/xwb6ac3q9xc5/wish/273665219 2018-08-17 07:46:08 UTC https://padlet.com/pirittapirpana/xwb6ac3q9xc5/wish/273665219 olavvejbaek https://padlet.com/pirittapirpana/xwb6ac3q9xc5/wish/273665468
It had rained all day, so we’ve been inside all day, how wonderful… all I wanted to do was play ball with my friends.
I had baked pancakes, they were probably the best pancakes ever made by anyone in the whole universe. Or at least my younger brother loved them. 
I went upstairs to get my laughing little brother Daniel, but before I entered his room I saw my mom crying on the sofa. I’d never seen my mom cry, it felt so weird. My mom is always happy and energetic, I sat besides her and she told me that she and dad weren’t going to be together any longer. In the begging I hadn’t really realised what had happened and why. But now a year later I feel like it was the best decision for the whole family.

Bit by bit,
 
Like those old-schooled thermometers,
Red line rising, 
 
Until it escalated in the end, 
Blowing everything up.
 
This particular scene was etched
To my mind,
 
Just like how the cattle,
Was being stigmatized.
 
Memories tended to be a blur,
But this was crystal-clear
 
The two angry, tense persons, 
Gesturing violently,
 
Yelling hurtful profanities at each other, 
Shooting bullets,
 
Hoping to hit and hurt,
Praying to win. 
 
Win this fight of fools, 
Oh, those tools!
 
I remember the rash decision, 
Hand reaching out, 
 
Grabbing the nearest object, 
Grandmothers vase,
 
Turned to broken pieces, 
Just like them
 
But she fought back, 
A slapping sound.

His head turned with force, 
A red cheek. 

I felt so cold inside, 
The feeling of being broken.

I couldn’t do anything to stop them and I don’t think they know I heard them.

I was really sad at that moment and It made me feel something I couldn’t explain. They were the ones who were lighting up my life, and at the same time breaking my heart.

When I see them smile at me, it forces me to smile back. 

Right now I don’t know what I should do maybe nothing but my feelings are really fucked because I’m sad most of the time and it’s because of them.

With my parents 

Like every Friday night 

 
A normal family together 

But one thing had changed

They weren’t talking

 
No smile on their faces 

Mothers lips were moving 

She had something to say

 
Her words were gone as were his 

All she asked was how my day was

It was fine

 
I know she only asked to break the silence

But she didn’t succeed 

It was deafening

But why
Why is life not easy
Why isent life fair
Why is my life always so hard
Why doesnt my parents love me
They only think of them self, not me
In hard times life goes slow, 
I´m so angry

Both of my parents have been there from the day I was born..... Like a horn on a rhinoceros https://padlet.com/pirittapirpana/xwb6ac3q9xc5/wish/273666099 2018-08-17 07:58:01 UTC https://padlet.com/pirittapirpana/xwb6ac3q9xc5/wish/273666099 https://padlet.com/pirittapirpana/xwb6ac3q9xc5/wish/273666488 When I heard about the divorce of my parents, I didn’t know, what It meant, but Tony said, that I should be proud of them.  
 
In a long time, I had asked why everything was changed, but they beat around the bush.
 
Until the day I saw the first moving box. I looked my mom in the eyes and asked why everything was falling apart. 
 
My mom had tears in her eyes. She was suddenly so shy. She told, that dad was moving. It didn’t make sense, and I still don’t understand, why Tony said, that I should be proud of them. 
 
It wasn’t fair, and I wasn’t prepared.

When she came out she acted like nothing happened, and she looked like a melancholy mess, I guess my parents had a big fight. It made me feel helpless as a kitten in a tree, because I dont like seeing my mom upset, and not knowing why. Not knowing why my parents are unhappy makes me unhappy. they never talk to me about it, i wish they would, because i really want to know how they feel. I just want them to be happy. https://padlet.com/pirittapirpana/xwb6ac3q9xc5/wish/273891948 2018-08-19 07:15:20 UTC https://padlet.com/pirittapirpana/xwb6ac3q9xc5/wish/273891948 One day I woke up early in the morningHearing my parents screaming at each other I was so confused, I’ve never heard the arguing so loudlyI tried to fall asleep againbut it was impossible with all that noiseso I walked down the stairs and walked into the living roomThey immediately stopped arguing and looked at me y1b62bunjl https://padlet.com/pirittapirpana/xwb6ac3q9xc5/wish/273921805 2018-08-19 18:59:17 UTC https://padlet.com/pirittapirpana/xwb6ac3q9xc5/wish/273921805 sofie_linda_terkilsen https://padlet.com/pirittapirpana/xwb6ac3q9xc5/wish/274007859 I didn’t know what was happening, but it was saddening… 

Mom and dad kept fighting, it felt like a lightning was constantly striking.

 Mom was gone, it felt like I was just a pawn. Their marriage was like a hurricane, there was constant rain and I felt like I was chained. 

We were waiting till dawn, I started to yawn and when I woke up, mom was still gone.


Tommy’s mom and dad just got divorced, it almost felt forced to choose a part. My parents enforced the divorce, even though I was bold and told my dad that the divorce would cause remorse. 

It wasn’t a nice feeling, but I’m sure I would be healing, even though it currently felt like my insides were squealing.]]> 2018-08-20 09:51:18 UTC https://padlet.com/pirittapirpana/xwb6ac3q9xc5/wish/274007859 I’ll never forget this day…I just came home from my first day of school, it was very exiting. My friend came home with me, we were going to watch some TV. Suddenly my parents began to yell and scream at each other. I was embarrassed at that moment, so i decided to set the volume up. Every time, they just shouted louder and louder. Things about their divorce, the divorce that i didn’t know about yet. I went to the livingroom, and when they saw me, they became quit. They just stood there looking at me. “Are you getting a divorce” - I said“Mmm, yes we are…” - My mom said. Before anyone of them said anything else, I ran out of the livingroom. I felt like someone had tramped at my heart a million times. I was ruined, I cried and cried, just couldn’t stop myself. Everything in front of my buddy. It was sooo embarrassing, i didn’t know what to do or say to him. Everyone and everything in the house was just silent. My friend had called his parents to come pick him up, so he went home. That just made me more embarrassed of myself, i felt worthless. https://padlet.com/pirittapirpana/xwb6ac3q9xc5/wish/274007917 2018-08-20 09:52:02 UTC https://padlet.com/pirittapirpana/xwb6ac3q9xc5/wish/274007917
