House on mango street

Why does the main character state, 'I know how that goes', when her parents stated they will be living there
temporarily?

Answer:

uuh copy and paste this or something

Step-by-step explanation:

It had seemed to me personally that when the main character stated "I know how that goes", they suspected that something that happened to them previously would come up again, and it was the same case, it had repeated itself. They imply that they might perhaps lose people that they love, resulting in them trying to avoid making friends with people so they don't feel heartbroken when they have to leave again. I felt frustrated and sad by this, since its terrible and unfortunate to have to be alone because you know you'll end up losing someone you care for.
