Freshman Forced to Relive Parents’ Divorce With Emotionally Distant DG Dad

Yesterday morning, freshman biology major Davis Barns suffered flashbacks of his parents’ divorce after his DG dad ignored a fifth straight text.

Barns first noticed connections between his DG dad and his biological dad when he caught the former checking Instagram during the“Aggie Story” discussion. Barns was reportedly taken back to memories of disagreements between his parents over Little League carpool responsibility.

“It was painful to think these acts of neglect came from someone I was supposed to trust more than anyone,” said Barns. “To be a DG parent is to hold vulnerable lives in your hands. Instead, my DG dad was holding a Belgian waffle vape when I finally opened up to the group.”

Barns expressed concern for how his DG siblings, who had yet to experience the destruction of a happy family, and his DG mom would take the inevitable divorce. I know that soon he’s going to leave, and we’re just not going to see him again” said Barns. “I’m just worried about my mom. She already works so hard, and now she’s going to have to shoulder the burden of coordinating all the continuity events on her own.”
