My experience | Learning to get over parent divorce

Being a victim of living with a single parent can be so saddening and sometimes confusing. When my parents got divorced, it was like a dream at first until it hit me so hard that I couldn't handle the situation. I got so cold especially when people ask after my parents from me. I then concluded that my parents were selfish, they didn't even care about how I will feel about everything. And this made me feel worse that it began reflecting in my day to day activities and education performance.

But as I kept growing up over the years, I learned to accept reality and built my mind towards positivity in order to move on with life. Today, I will be sharing with you guys who might be experiencing the same situation on how I overcame everything.

Firstly, I had to accept reality as I stated earlier on. I got to accept the fact that my parent are human who is also imperfect like I am. I also got to accept the fact that change, as they say, is constant because even while I was young, my favourite toys which I loved so much became obsolete and I never cared for it again. Same could happen with the love that people claim to have for each other.

Secondly, I learnt not to hold onto grudges. I forgave my parents for not caring to know how I will feel before taking such action. I did so by learning not to judge them as I come to understand and accept reality.

Lastly, one way I got over this was by discussing how I felt with close relation and friends as they helped in consoling and encouraging me. This really helped in lowering my anxiety too.

Getting over parent divorce is like you recovering from a broken arm, it might be painful but you will eventually heal from it. I hope this post is helpful to someone out there.
