childhood impact story

The episode in my childhood that had the biggest impact on my life is when I got a new mommy. It was when i was living in Fort Knox, Kentucky. I was about five years old and my parents split up, but I think i was a little to young to grasp the concept of what really happened. I didn't really know what the word divorce meant I just thought my mom was at work all week and that is why i only saw her on the weekends. Eventually I figured out that something was different especially when my dad’s new friend moved into our house with her daughter. Her name was Annette and her daughter was named Rouaine and i have met them before at birthday parties and stuff. At that time i just thought we were giving them a place to stay while they were getting a new house or something. Then all of a sudden something horrible happened, my playroom was changed into Rouaine's new bedroom. I was like WHOA! what is going on, where I'm i supposed to play and then i realized that they were going to stay a little longer than i anticipated.


At that time i didn't really know how i felt about the new people living in the house, I kind of just tried to keep everything the same, but it was a little hard because i went from living in a house with just my dad and my older brother, Kris, to living with two new girls. I couldn't use the bathroom with the door anymore and it seemed like i started to get in trouble a lot more. We started eating a different type of food some of which i like and some of which i hated. So i didn't really like this new change and i wanted them to leave because i thought that they were stealing my dad away from me and my brother. So i didn't think to highly of them. In the end She ended up marrying my dad and i got a step-mom and step-sister.

I learned a lot of things with this experience, like that when you get new family members you lose some living space in your home and that things can get a little more crazy. I also learned that boys and girls are different inside and out. I had to learn to put the toilet seat down. I also learned that sharing is a good qaulity and you can't treat girls like boys.
