Nothing In Common
My parents divorce was pretty bad. As a side note, it really made no sense how my parents ever got married. Their backgrounds were very different, education was different, and they had nothing in common.
Anyway, it started with trouble when I was in 5th grade and it got around to the school, so my sister and I were thrown into counseling.
It came to a terrible breaking point when my mom decided to get our new dog neutered. It was a rational decision on her part but my dad didn’t want it because of male nonsense.
As revenge for this he ran the lawn mower over her entire garden and other landscaping, took a baseball bat to all the garden decorations and basically destroyed her entire hobby and all the work she put into it.
She had to come home to that, and I got to sit at the dinner table and watch it happening. It was awful. If I remember right she packed up her things right there and then and left.
I don’t blame her. My dad was a pretty nasty person, and hasn’t gotten any better over the years either.
