Journal Entry 1

Eleven years ago when my parents got divorced I began taking on more and more responsibilities in order to help my mom and brother through the rough transition. During this time I became closer and more involved in family matters and household duties. Before the divorce I was a relatively care free child, after the divorce I began helping around the house by assisting my brother with his homework, helping around the house, and making sure my parents were civil when in each other's  presence. Although I'm not quite the daredevil I used to be I'm glad for the change because now I'm a responsible hardworking kid who has a really good relationship with his family, showing us divorce isn't always a bad thing.
