my parents aren’t (yet?) divorced, but they’ve been separated for seven years. they told me on the morning of my college graduation. i’ve done a lot of inner and outer work to understand and be okay with the same conclusion you’ve come to: my parents are people too.

this was SO GOOD. thank you for sharing.

la manera en la que describes el divorcio es super sincera y 'accurate'. creo que este es de los mejores Pomelos, no solo por la escritura sino porque cuentas algo importante de verdad que ha cambiado en ti para que seas más feliz y no sabes lo que me alegro!!

More than an algorithm, maybe you were supposed to read this. I totally get what you mean and that's exactly what I've experienced too, and I guess everyone that goes down this path does: Parents not listening or understanding, having excuses and getting defensive when you share things from the past... I also agree with you on not wanting to do things the same way, my parents have taught me a lot about what I don't want to do with my own kids because I know what it feels like and how much it hurts; but I think no matter what, we'll always do something wrong because none of us are perfect and the key is remaining open and adapting to what our kids tell us they need from us, at the end of the day I think that that's the only thing we can do. But hey ho, it's a lifelong journey and the finish line will always move as we age and change :) I'm 27 in a few months, and you?
