“[When my parents got divorced] my dad moved to Kansas for work and me, being seven years old, felt like there was something missing. I really missed my dad, my mom was there for me, but I was always a daddy’s girl, so it was really hard on me not having him there. Sometimes I feel like if the divorce never happened my family would be a lot happier. I understand that they’re two different people now, I know my dad has changed a lot and same for my mom. I also understand that they weren’t in love anymore and things do happen for a reason but sometimes I just really wish they were still together.”
