I'm sorry and please don't hate me for saying it but unfortunately life has taken you in a different direction and although it may make you unhappy and it will take time but you will have to make yourself less and less sad everyday and be stronger and stronger and look foward, not back. I understand it was the house where you spent your childhood in and I would want to spend time on it myself... but even if you did it wouldn't change your life. Your parents would still be divorced, the fact that your dad ran off wouldn't change, and you wouldn't get back your childhood. Just stay strong for yourself and your mom. For now you have to heal from these emotional wounds and work on having a better tomorrow. ...It's just a house. I understand it represents a part of your life but due to the circumstances I think it's best if you let it go. If it DOES getn sold then I would recommend forgetting about it for a long time and someday when you are older and feel better about your current situation find out what happened to the house. Whoever buys it will eventually move out from it. I;m not saying buy it when you're older, just go see it. Sure, your room won't be there with your things... but your childhood memories will still be. If you were to tell your mother you want to go spend time there on your own I think it would upset her, and its understandable. Your dad hasn't kept in touch and your mother is trying to move on with her life. It is hard to let go of the past but at this point it is best to try to be as strong as possible and move on with your life. [ vilelove's advice column | Ask vilelove A Question ]
