Obviously it would be different for you with your story but here's mine.
When I was about four years old, my parents divorced and I was devastated. I hated being away from my mom or my dad. Plus listening to other kids talk about how they're going on a "family trip" when my family was separated. Then my dad moved away and I felt really down from when I was about seven to eight. Although then I realized that I'm pretty lucky to have a mom and a dad who love, and care for me, even if they are apart at least I have them. Also knowing that I'm lucky to have a home, running water , electricity,etc. Now I'm older and whenever I have to leave my mom or dad, I'm not sad , instead I feel great ful to be spending time with whoever I'm with at the moment.
