Complete at once, but suddenly broken

When I was still living in Manila, I was very happy because my dad always carried me and if I want something he will buy it immediately, we always hang out every week. At that time I couldn't ask for anything more because we were a complete family, the day came when dad didn't come home, I was surprised because dad didn't do that, until the following days dad didn't come home he always told us that there were many things he is still finishing work in their company. I still understand that, but mom has a different feeling because even though dad is working a lot, he still comes home. Mom and dad started arguing, they always fight in the room, and when they leave the room they tell me that it's okay but mom won't join us when we eat, and I noticed that because I'm older and I know whats going on.

Until the day came when dad came home, mom slapped him, I was surprised because dad had just come home from work, I was surprised by what mom said I didn't know how to accept that mom said that dad had a child with another woman, I don't  think that I still have a brother out there. Dad talked to us that the woman he has been gone for a long time, but dad's son outside is being supported by him and I understood that because he is still dad's son and he is my brother. But mom still didn't talk to dad and we went home to Pampanga first so mom could cool down.

A week later, dad came to pick us up and mom agreed and gave dad a chance to change. When we came back to Manila, we didn't go out too much and then dad stopped buying me gifts.

Three months later, mom and dad had a fight because mom caught dad still with his another woman, it came to a situation where the two of them started beating each other and then mom didn't stop to run away and go home to Pampanga, I don't know what to do I didn't know who I would go with but my sister and I chose mom because we saw how mom hurt dad, we also found out that dad doesn't have just one child outside but two.

My heart hurts so much that I don't know what to do, so mom decided to leave Manila and leave dad because he cheated on us, It was so painful. In Pampanga, my mother and my sister and I lived with my grandmother and we got along well, but I still think about the family that suddenly disappeared and I still can't accept it.

We grew up here in Pampanga and my father supported us but we didn't see him for 6 years even when it was my birthday which was my 18th birthday which was supposed to be he was my last dance, there was nothing like that he didn't come, it was so painful until now that the family is gone the family I loved and protected. But now that I'm old, I have forgiven my father for what he did to us. Everyone makes mistakes, but it's a pity for my family. It's a pity for the beautiful family that I never thought would disappear in an instant.
