abandonment by teri

in my book the Persepolis the character in my book that is trying to make everyone more comfortable is marjanes mom she is the one that tries to keep it together more than the other family members like for example there was a bombing and they had to take shelter and marjan says “ mom I don’t want to die” her mom tries to keep it together and says “ we won’t die I promise u” I think that she has to keep people comfortable by trying not to show her emotion in on what she feels and how she reacts to things. The first time in my life there are people besides my mom and sister that help me through my tough times its mainly spirtatual and that’s the one thing that I think is the most advice I want because if I didn’t have god in my life now I don’t even remember when I didn’t have him so I feel that my church is the next best thing to helping me with my tough situations.
Why did he leave is the first thing I think about when I go visit my dad, like was it me? My sister? My mom? Just… why? That’s the one person I think about when someone says the word abandonment or abandon. .. My dad I don’t know why he left he just left didn’t want to do it anymore I guess I thought he was happy like mom was but apparently I was wrong. I remember that day very clear my mom was yelling at him after he put his hand to her face and there’s a red mark. She says” I’m tired of you doing this we are done!” “You aren’t leaving because I’m leaving and this marriage is over I’m sick of this isn’t working I’m done!” then he left. That’s the first time I have ever been abandoned in my life and the that I’m reading everyone seems to be abandon there family just to keep their lives and to keep their families strong like for example you weren’t able to have parties but marjane and her family did it anyway they went to her uncle’s house to celebrate his new born baby but when bombs go off the party stomps and everyone runs and take cover and the mother of the baby gave the new born to marjane and she left. That’s the one that hit me the most how can you abandon a new born baby that little precious thing needs you, but I can understand in the book its everyman for himself but I just found out I’m not alone and nor is that baby.
