The Letter That Separates You...Riiiippppp! Opening the letter that put me right between the line of being an adult and a child. I read the name of my mother on the letter. First I thought it could be jury duty notice. But as I opened the envelope I saw my father’s name and in full capital letters that was to appear in court not paying child support for several months from the loss of his job. I read the date of the appearance November, 5, 2015. I asked myself why my father would do this to himself? Why would he put off payments? I was scared for him. “But he is an adult it was his choice” is what my mom kept saying. Yet, I couldn’t stop worrying. I love my Dad, even though he might of not been the lovey-dovey always telling me he loved me. He might of loved the bottle more than me at some points, but he is trying.About two years after my parents got divorced he became a type one diabetic. Even after the divorce he wasn’t the most happiest guy. Well I wouldn’t feel good or be happy either if the “love of my life” asked for a divorce. Opening the letter from court I felt like I finally knew what it felt to be an adult. As you get older you have a lot of responsibility and I admit it is really scary to think about it.

Your blog captures perfectly what it so often feels like to be an adult: conflicted.
