😕「My mum basically drag me out of my bed and along with my sisters, she drove me all the way from Kent, which was where I lived, to Southampton. It was almost a 3 hour drive. When we arrive at Southampton, it was like 1 or 2 in the morning. We stayed the night, in a completely new home. Mum was crying and was on the phone while I tried to sleep with my sisters.」
😕「It was only a few days before my birthday, and my parents just suddenly split up. I don’t even dare to ask for celebration, and of course, I never got my Pluto jigsaw puzzle.」
😕「Until I reach like 13 years old, I had always assumed that my dad did something wrong which forced her to run away. I even suspected maybe there was domestic violence involved. I never asked, and I was scared to ask. Either way, when I got to spend a weekend with my dad, I acted normal, even though I was not comfortable. When my mum met my stepdad half a year later after she ran away, I was even happy for her.」
😕「Well, it turns out, it was my mum that faults the relationship. She met my stepdad and just ran away. And I wasted 4 years of my life, hating someone who had done nothing wrong and concerning someone who screwed everything up.」
😕「Can you believe it? For nearly 4 years, I had been despising my dad, who was in fact the victim. I knew relationships are complicated but running away with your kids and blame everything on the other side? That is too much. 」
😕「I don’t, I have been over it. Besides, I always believe fate brought people together, I try to cherish every relationship, whether it’s good or bad, it moulded the M today.」
