📢"Tell your story"

Greetings my fellow steemian ladies, hope everyone is fine. I would like to thank @ruthjoe for organizing this Contes, it's a great pleasure for me taking part in this contest.

This is my true life story, I'm from a family of six, my Dad, my momma, my three siblings and I, before now our family used to be a happy one, our home is usually filled with Joy and happiness, fast ward to now things have changed nothing is the same anymore😔

Well first of all, I was not brought up by my parents, I lived with other people almost all my life that was where I grew up and I saw them as my family, because they never for once differentiate me from their kids, I was treated just like the same way their own kids were been treated.

After so many years of living away from my family, I was worried that my family had already forgotten about me, I would always cry when ever I remember my family, because no matter what, they say there's no place like home 😔, that's exactly what happened with me.

Finally it was Christmas season and so my Dad came over to the place where I lived with my new family, he said he was here to take me with him to go spend the Christmas with them, OMG 🥰, I was so overwhelmed by Joy, because it's been years and I have really missed them.

Later he said that my Mom wanted to speak to me on the phone, I got confused but still said no words, when he gave me the phone to speak to her, after we greeted each other, she told me that the next day my Dad will bring my siblings and I to go meet her, I was still confused I asked where she was, and all she said was that she has left.

My heart filled with griff, and my eyes also filled with tears I could not speak again I immediately gave the phone to my Dad, at this point I got really disappointed and heart broken, I felt like not leaving anymore 😔 because it was never going to be the same without all my family living together.

I went back inside and started crying, the mummy I was living with asked me the reason why I was crying, I didn't want to share the bad news with her, so I lied that I was going to miss them.

Few minutes later my Dad and I left for our town, when we arrived home, everything had changed nothing was the same, truly without a mother in a house the family will never be complete, I felt very hurt that day, I refused to eat and I was hungry but I still lied that I ate before we left where I was.

I cried almost all through that night, since then I'm always worried and also crying why those this have to happen, I have tried asking my Dad the reason why my mom left the house but he would always say I should ask my mom, this would hurt me very deeply and when I ask my mom she would tell me that my Dad brought another woman and that was what happened that made her leave.

And when I ask my dad again he tells me a total different thing, I'm hurting when ever I see my friends family together or when ever we are talking about our family, I will realize that it's only my parents that are living separately, this would always make tears roll down my chick and when I'm asked why I'm crying,

I would always say there's nothing because I don't like sharing this with people, it makes me feel very uncomfortable, most times I would remember this and begin to get emotional and before I realize it, I will already be seen crying.

Many people that already know our story would always tell me that it's my duty as the first child to reunite my parents😭💔, and this also hurts me the most, because I keep trying but it feels as if I'm not trying at all, they would always say crying is not going to bring them back, I have to stop crying.

I have now realized that, I'm only hurting myself and crying is not going to bring my parents back together besides some things are better left the way they are I believe there's something they are hiding from me 💔, and I think they are happy staying away from each other.

Although, I'm still trying my best to see that they are reunited again, but the most important thing is that I don't always cry anyhow, unlike those days, please🙏🥺 if you come across my post and you think you can help me with any solution that can help please I'll be very pleased
