With my brother and sister being just 15 and 13 years old, respectively, the direct dialogue of the interview was very muddled, therefore I put together their overall ideas combined with my analysis:
|
The interview I conducted with my younger brother and sister reminded me of all of the feelings and hardships I endured as I grew up. I was able to relate with all the pros and cons they brought up. Neither of them mentioned anything I hadn't felt or thought of as a child.
Of course, a lot of the exact similarities is attributed to the fact that we come from the same family and have experienced the same issues, yet our personal thoughts cannot be skewed by one another's too strongly and that is where we were similar. |
However, they seemed to be much more numb to the circumstances than I was because they were younger while everything was going on. They weren't capable of understanding what the divorce would mean for them as children who were not even 6 years old. They, as well as I, have been raised in a way that leaves them blind to more traditional families or how they function.Single-parent, extremely close knit immediate families feels like the norm to them. This serves as a testament to how greatly our mother raised us. She brought us up in a way that didn't leave us feeling incomplete or disadvantaged.
