Now before you start feeling bad about me please let me tell you something. I have seen this coming. I am 16 years old and currently doing very well in high school. I almost have a 4.0 gpa and i am very dedicated to my education. My mother and who is right now my step-dad met about 10 years ago and got married about 4 years ago. But let me tell you, they argue ALL the time. My step dad has anger issues and ALWAYS goes to work very grumpy. For many years I have tried to avoid any situations that may spark an argument but it is very hard living with him due to his anger issues. It comes to the point that I myself start to get angry because HE gets angry. Over the past years there has been many encounters where I absolutely hated him. Now I try to avoid him at all costs because i don’t really like it when he talks to me. Now back to the divorce thing. My mom told my step dad that she wants nothing to do with him anymore. I over heard this. Now just today my mom told me personally that she wants to leave him. She has had no love attraction towards him for YEARS now. I knew she has wanted to tell me but I just try and change the conversation and not think about it. NOW before you think he is an absolute jerk, here me out. He is a great father who works hard and he loves my little brother. My little brother who is 8 loves being around him. But for me, there has never been a connection between me and him. He DOES supply me with anything I need and I am EXTREMELY grateful and thankful for that, but I am seriously missing the father figure in my life. We hardly have any conversations and that is mostly due to me not wanting to talk to him. I am trying to stay out of all of this. I honestly don’t really think about that much and I don’t think it is affecting me as much as it should. But what I AM CONCERNED is about my little brother. He is only 8 and it would kill me to see him lose an important person in his life. He has heard no word about this and I worry about how he will react when he gets the news. But overall, I am more concerned about my brother than me. I can honestly say that I can live without my step-dad but I can’t say the same for my brother.
Thank you for reading this, I know its pretty long but this is just a short summary of what is happening at the moment. If you haven’t been able to tell already I am a male and I hope you have or have had a wonderful day
