The divorce rate in Singapore is seriously increasing. Apart from me talking about how two person should live their life together, how about coping with your own parents splitting up?
Well, I am sure that there are people who has either undergo such an issue in their family, or could even be going through it now.
Imagine late at night say 2am, you hear screamings and things breaking coming from your parents' room, sisters crying out of fear, and you simply feel so useless because in no way, you can actually interfere in your parents' matter. and the thunder comes striking down, "I want a divorce!"
Your heart sank... Tears just flow out of your eyes uncontrollably. You don't exactly seem to understand what has happened, and neither can you foresee what will be going to happen.
There is alot of consequences when a family split up, and the "parents" have to be able to handle the aftermath.
I will never blame my parents if they finally decide to get a divorce, because i really don't want to see both of them suffering anymore, particularly for my mom. I know my dad will be fine on his own, especially now that he has a proper job and is well-taken care of by his boss. The two person I am most worried about, my two younger sisters. They are still young, and they need both their parents by their side now that they are growing up. Besides, asking them to choose between my dad and mom will totally traumatise them. Life will never be the same after your parents split up, I know that my life will not be the same soon.
As the second eldest in the family, I can only say that the way to deal with the split up, is to stay strong. Set a good role model for your younger siblings as they will always be looking up to you, and going to you asking you why all these will happen. Be patient with your younger siblings as it can get quite frustrating as they won't be able to understand even if you explain to them.
Basically, it is really heart-breaking to see your parents splitting up, but always remember that, life goes on. You might not see one of them everyday, but at least, know that it is for the better. Always be there to guide along your younger siblings because they need you. I can never say the words, "Don't let it affect you so much" because it does affect, and it affects you on a big scale.
For me, I know that I will learn how to cope with it when that feaful day arrive.
Till then, if anyone out there needs help, please do just drop me an e-mail at geturlifeback@gmail.com
Peace.
