Kids say the darndest things!

Dear Parents,

You had children because you wanted a piece of each of you.  I am one half each of you; one half Mom, one half Dad.  It was your choice to have me, which I am thankful for.  It was not my choice to have you, though.  When the two of you decided that you could no longer be married, you tore apart every single bit of faith in love, relationships, and marriage that I had apart.  You may not have realized it then or even now.  It is not my fault you got a divorce, it is not my fault that you no longer loved one another, and it definitely not my fault that you two can no longer see eye to eye.  With that said, don't drag me through your problems and your hatred.  I am really sad that I no longer have one house, that I have two bedrooms now with two different closets.  I don't like leaving either one of you to go spend time with the other.  It makes me sad to think about you sitting home all alone all weekend or that you may be alone on Christmas morning.  It's heartbreaking.

You are both my parents, I love you equally, and it is not my fault that you are no longer married.  Have respect for me, my feelings, and how when you got a divorce it not only hurt you.  Your decisions that you make as parents have a lasting effect on my life.  Even though you are divorced, please be courteous that you are both my parents and I shouldn't have to pick.  Stop being selfish.


Sincerely,

Your Child who has Two Separate Christmas's
