<p>Living without both of my parents is a struggle.  My brother and I have to travel from place to place and it&#8217;s kind of challenging. My parents are divorced.  Sometimes, I wish that it never happened.  Sometimes, I think it was all my fault, but I know it isn&#8217;t.  But I really don&#8217;t understand why they divorced.</p>
<p>This is a serious matter that everyone should recognize because it seems to be happening to every happy couple I know.  Some days, I cry because it&#8217;s like half of my heart got sucked in by a deep, dark, black hole.  It&#8217;s crying out for help but no one can.  It&#8217;s REALLY hard!  Here I am now, crying, writing this story.  Some people don&#8217;t know how much it hurts when I see a family of four when my family only has three.</p>
<p>It hurts the most when you meet a new member of the family.  It feels like your parent forgot about you and isn&#8217;t trying to help you to get out of that deep, dark, black hole.  You may think it&#8217;d be fun to have different families, but to me it&#8217;s not.  I love them all but sometimes I wish things could go back to normal.</p>
<p>I want strong families to stick and stay together&#8230;forever!!!!  Love them like I love mine.  Trust them like I trust mine.  Be nice to them like I am to mine.  And always, always hold on to them and don&#8217;t let them get sucked into that deep, dark, ugly, dull, black hole.</p>

<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-688" title="dear" src="http://young.chicagonista.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/dear.jpg" alt="dear" width="237" height="153" />No offense but there is something you do that irks me to the extreme!  I am writing from experience.  When my parents tell me to do a chore, I do it.  No big deal.  But often, while I&#8217;m doing the chore that THEY  asked me to do, they&#8217;re telling me either what to do next or how to do the job!</p>
<p>I mean. I am doing the job right, I am listening to you and not ignoring the fact that you are asking me to do another chore. Please Mom and Dad, next  time you ask me to do a chore, don&#8217;t tell how to do it because at least I&#8217;m actually doing it!</p>
<p>I hope I don&#8217;t get in trouble for this post!!  lol</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-498" title="bebes" src="http://young.chicagonista.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/bebes.jpg" alt="bebes" width="500" height="332" />Babies.  They are so adorable.  They make you laugh even when you&#8217;re down.  But sometimes they puke on you and make you mad.  I love my baby sister, Jarely.  She is the cutest baby I have ever seen.</p>
<p>Babysitting can seem like the worst task my mother can give me because, of course, it prevent me from going out and enjoying myself.  But I would do anything for my little bundle of joy because her laughter always cheers me up.</p>
<p>Jarely is one of the few people I know I will miss when I go away to college in nine months.  I know it is going to be hard to enjoy myself when I won&#8217;t see her for a long time - even weeks at a time.  Even though I will be away from her, I know it&#8217;s something I need to do for myself.  I need my liberty from my parents &#8211; especially my dad.  ☺</p>
