I think it really affected him the most, not to speak out of turn.

It affected me as well.

And it certainly affected my little brother.

I felt like maybe unfairly, we had to sort of have alliances with the parent that we thought was... My mom left my dad.

So I felt like I had to go to my dad's aid and help him.

I think my younger brother did as well.

My older brother sort of floated in the middle, but maybe erred more towards my mom's side.

And as you get older and have distance and are sort of healing from that initial shock, you realize like, oh...

No one, like, no one's like really at fault necessarily.

And she was in pain and my dad was in pain equally.

And like, it's not fair to just like to have abandoned my mom, which I did for like a year.

I was like, can't talk to you.

I'm busy.

I'm going to compartmentalize and I have to like help take care of dad who is, my parents were high school kids.

They've been together since they were like 15.

They were about to celebrate their 30th anniversary.

Like, yeah, it was like it was a huge shock.

And I also I think being a product of growing up when we all did and sort of this like divorce generation, that was my greatest fear.

Yeah.

It was watching all the friends around me whose parents split up and what that looked like.
