What were your parents doing at your age?
My twin and I would have been 4 years old when my mother was my age, so she was raising us. I think 4 is around the age that she divorced my father, so she would have been just beginning to raise us as a single mother. My father spent all his time at the bar, so I guess this wouldn’t have been new for her.
You see, my father was abusive in a lot of ways, which is why I have PTSD. The abuse he caused to me, my twin, and my mother was the driving factor for her getting a divorce from him. So, at this age, it was the start of a new life for us. To this day, I am thankful for her getting rid of him. I can’t imagine what my life would have been like had they stayed together.
