I'm thirteen years old, and I know what it  2  like when parents split up, because mine did last fall.
My parents had been  3  for years. When my father started cheating my mom things went downhill, I  4 
they would divorce instantly. I tried to picture my life after my parents  5  up-living at my mom's house during
the week, and my father's house on the weekend. But my mom decided to be the bigger person and try to  6 
it out, so that my siblings and I would know  7  it was like to have a family. Things didn't get better,  8  .

him to do and he had another 12 -a lie. We just ignored it and went on with our lives as if nothing was the
