when i was little my mom and dad used to get into really bad fights. i remember at least two or three times waking up to seeing my mom fully dressed telling us she was going to leave. my brother and i would get out of bed and cry and cry and beg her not to leave us. beg her. and she would just keep saying she was leaving.
in retrospect i don't even know how this would have happened. my mother didn't drive at that time. of course back then this was not something we realized.
soon we would get loud enough that my grandma and grandpa would come downstairs to see what's wrong. and they would stay with us and try to convince my mom to stay. i remember they would tell her that we were going to wake the neighbors because we were so loud and that we needed to calm down or else one of the neighbors might call the police.
had this happened before? why was that something to be afraid of? had the police come before because of a disturbance? i don't recall.
we were so young. i only remember these incidents of my mom wanting to leave at our first house. so they must have all happened sometime before we were 8.
why didn't my mom say she would take us with her? why would she leave by herself?
