I was 12 when my parents got divorced.
Actually, that was when they got separated.
Separated, divorced--what's the difference?
Either way, they weren't together anymore.
People always say to me:
"Wow, twelve is such a hard age
to have been going through that"
I always respond:
"And what age is good?"
I often felt confused about how
to deal with my dad, my mom,
my brother, and even myself.
