My birthday was a couple days ago, I just turned 17. I got to spend time with absolutely no one, just walked around for a couple hours after school. Because I have no friends. My own mom didn’t even say happy birthday to me. But this isn’t even what I care about, I got over that easily. It’s the fact that now my parents want a divorce. My 17th birthday present from them is a breakup in the family. I’ve been very close to my step dad, since I was 4. My step sister as well. Even though they are not biological they are still my family. We used to be a family, always going and doing things. Having fun with each other all the time. Now my step sister doesn’t even come over at all, I see her maybe twice a year. It doesn’t bother me much that we have grown apart. But my step dad is the one who gets all the pain from that. And now this divorce. To see everything break apart that I’ve known all my life. I’ve already lost all my friends after covid. And made no new friends after school began. Now I get to lose my family. I’m at school and I can Hear a bunch of ppl chanting happy birthday to their friend. Me I have no one, and my parents are divorcing. Best birthday ever. It’s hilarious that I don’t even really feel anything towards this. I just feel numb.
