A NORMAL LIFE

Info


Today is the happiest day of my life as today my parents are leaving each other forever...today they are getting divorced

Yes I am an 18 year old girl and I longed for this day my entire life.Today I will be freed from the biggest guilt of my life.

My parents are wonderful people but only when they are separate but when they are together they bring out the worst in each other.

They were never compatible and I noticed it when I was 5 I don't know what took THEM so long...for this realisation!!yes I was 5 when I first saw my parents fighting and abusing each other . I didn't know what to do...so I instinctively went inside the room. Seeing me they stopped instantly. How thoughtful of them,right?wrong because it was the only time they stopped .

When I was 8 I read a letter written by my nani to mum 3 years ago and it said and I qoute "if not for the family 'honour' atleast stay with him for your only daughter ,she deserves a 'normal' life. And my mom did what a 'good' woman is required to do,she stayed.

With time things things became worse ,the quality of abuses rose (or should I say dropped). Dad started taking more business trips,which was a very good decision if you ask me. Because when he used to be away from home,there were no fights .Mom didn't cry and I am sure neither did dad. Yes I have seen my parents crying...sobbing but never infront of each other , ofcourse you shouldn't​ show your emotional side to ur "enemy" ,right?

But today it all ends nothing has motivated me more to study than this and finally I have finished my schooling and have got admission in a prestigious college far away from my home and as per my mother's promise to my nani she can now without any guilt leave my father and therefore they have mutually filled for divorce . Now my parents are finally free... free to be happy ..free to lead a "normal" life.
