Sorry to hear that Yah my parents have been divorced for an eternity. When I was a kid, I thought it all happened suddenly but later into my adult years I found out that those things happen either gradually or from the beginning - ie: they married for the wrong reasons, ect. Everyone's situation is different so I'm not going to generalize yours, but I will add that life just plain sucks sometimes.
Sorry kid I can't help you, but you probably shouldn't post shit like this here. There have been like 3 other divorce threads in the past month and they always get flamed. This is a question better left to your real life friends or maybe a therapist or something if you are having trouble.
Sucks man, times like these you just have to stand by your parents and leave them to reach a decision.
How old are you? I figure if you're old enough it shouldn't affect you quite so much. It might seem strange, but when it comes down to it, you just want them to be happy and get on with their lives in whichever way they see fit. That said, my parents split up (but didn't divorce, though it basically has the same results) when I was seven, and I honestly can't remember caring too much. I lived with my mom and still got to see my dad fairly often so I was cool with it, two houses for the win. Plus it had the added advantage of being able to go and stay with the other parent if you'd just had an argument with one. I realise it affects some people more than others, but I really didn't (and in a way, still don't) see it as a big deal. As long as their children are still taken care of properly it's just another twist in the ribbon of life.
Sorry dude, it may suck right now, but it'll lead to better things. Mainly, less fighting in the house.
Again, I would refrain from posting anything of a personal nature like this on an Internet forum. It usually leads to a flame war. But anyway I'm really sorry to hear that man. Thankfully my parents aren't divorced so I can't offer any advice.
Only when the trolls arrive. [checks watch] Hey, they're late. Anyway, sorry to hear about your parents. My parents split when I was quite young, so I really don't remember any of it -- I only have one or two relatively clear memories of my parents together as far as that goes, and that was from when I was maybe 2 or 3 years old. The main thing to keep in mind that you aren't the reason. Sometimes things just don't work out, even after many years. Sometimes it needs to happen because staying together could turn out worse, so if it's any consolation, if they're really going through with it, I'm sure it's probably the best solution for everyone, even if that solution still sucks. Stiff upper lip and all that. It'll suck hard and toothy for a while, but it'll get better.
Sorry to hear about your plight. It will be a rough road for quite a while, but know that time will make it easier to deal with. The one thing you need to do is to stay strong. It will undoubtedly be if not already an emotional roller coaster, but you have to remain strong for each of your parents. This isn't something that they wanted to happen either, but when divorce is the result, it means that there was no other alternative. Remember that they still love and care about you, and you have to remember that this isn't a result of anything you've done. Try not to take it out on your parents. Know that they'll be there for you, and you should try to be there for them as they deal with this as well. During times of adversity, it's easy to fall under bad influences...drugs, alcohol, punks, etc. Be wary of all that. It's good to have hobbies and other distractions, but be aware that you are emotionally vulnerable at this stage. Make it through this, learn life's various lessons, and staying focused will make you a much better and more complete person. Do that and you'll look back on this terrible time as a growing experience.
I'm sure it can be hard and somewhat frustrating. I can't really say I understand you since I sometimes wish my parents would get a divorce. 'Course, it's a different story with me, but just get on with your life, and just think of it as a change, not a drawback.
all i can say is whoever your mom and dad start to date after this.. treat them with respect. they know they you have a mom or a dad.. they will still try to be a role model.. you know being the adult.. just part of growing up.. good luck. what dose not kill you only makes you stronger.. and whatever you do not think well if they could not keep a relationship means you will not be able to .. it has nothing to do you with you.. its between them the split up. chris.
I don't think finding a quick mate after divorce is a good idea, but hopefully they'll find a great person that'll help the growing family.
Word of advice, ask for anything right now and you'll probably get it. If they say no start crying, guilt will work it's magic.
