My father left my mother before I was born. Its different from knowing him and then him leaving but it has made a difference in my life. I'm more determined and a stronger person.

Dolls Have Feelings Too!

My parents have not been divorced or officially split up, despite sleeping in separate rooms on separate floors of the house for the past eight years.

I honestly wish they would have gotten divorced when I was younger, so I didn't have to witness their fighting, and their modeling a marriage of convenience instead of a marriage based on love.

It's not pleasant to have to wait until you're an adult and have hurt the ones you've loved because your role model for a domestic partnership has been jaded.

Stay strong. There's a lot of help, and you are far from alone. If you look around in school, depending on where you live geographically, chances are that a high ratio of kids have divorced parents. Also, there are tons of chat and networking and support sites online that can answer questions and hook you up with peers to discuss issues or concerns with.

Just understand that your parents did NOT split up because of you or your siblings.

Have you ever had a friend that you thought would be your BFFL, that you'd be at each others' weddings...the friend that you did everything with, and then one day, things went sour, and there was just no real recuperation? The bad feelings were there...and the two of your either parted ways, or your friendship has just never been the same?
Well, marriage is not at all unlike this. Same with love...with adult relationships. Some people can smooth over the wounds...some people cannot live with the pain.
Your parents more than likely did love each other greatly at one point, and may have until recently. They may even become best friends again some day, even if it takes until you're grown for this to happen.

Just be there for your parents....they know you're having a tough time, but if you show them you care about their feelings as much as they care about yours, it will make all of your lives a lot easier and livable.

Best of luck, love. <3

lol

eat as much as u can... =[

Both my parents have died but if they were both still living they would have been married 52 yrs this past august.

They got married in 1956.

My dad died january 1994 at the age of 63.
My mom died 7 months ago on april 9th at the age of 74,

yea my parents split up about 2 maybe 3 years ago it bothers me that I didn't have to deal with it like it wasn't any thing big that made me feel unreal I always wonder why it doesn't bother me

Jessica

nope. :-)

Saz

my mum n dad have split up it was hard at first but the best thing i found was if u can sit down with them both at the same time and try and work out some ground rules its really hard but once u know these both there for u im sure ull b fine gd luk xx

Mrs Wiseguy

Yes mine did,and I never really found a way to deal with it.The worst part is they split because of me.When I became pregnant at a young age my father was understandably upset.He told my mother"that baby will never come in my house" So of course my mother was not going to miss out on her grandchild's life,so they divorced.After a while my father started dating someone that really was not good for him,he began doing drugs,which consequently ended his life a three years ago yesterday on thanksgiving.My birthday is Dec 2nd,so you can guess that I was at my fathers funeral on my birthday! While at his funeral no one knew that I blame myself for his death. It is hard to deal with and I wish you luck,I pray your situation never becomes any where near as bad ad mine. God bless you

sweet.slice.baby

ya.

when i was 7months old.

i hate my "FATHER" so i dont care much.

Alisha W

i dealt with it kind of bad but now i can stay with my mom sometimes and my dad

Mine have, and it was horrible. Luckily, I have very caring parents who put their differences aside to still carry out holidays and get along and work through everything financially for myself, my brother, and sister. We still go out to eat together, and they get along with each other. I have a very "criminal" brother who is always getting DUIs and they work through that crap together.
At first its a bummer, and I still organize family activities (im the youngest and 17 now). I just make sure to spend equal times with each parent (they live about 2 miles from each other) and it works out well. Every situation is different but people find ways to cope, and to make things as normal as possible.

No they haven't but I know a lot that have. The important thing to do is to reinforce to yourself that they are breaking up for adult reasons not because of you.
Your parents are just like anyother man and woman - they have great love for their children and had great love when they married and created you and a home for you together, but sometimes life isn't fair and things and people change. You will have to learn that as you yourself grow up.

Talk to your parents and ask them why they are breaking up. How is it going to work for you. Where will I be staying, where will I be going to school. And most importantly how can they make the breakup as less traumatic for you. Tell them you need both of them in your life, tell them you love them. But you also need a plan and help too.

Do not blame your parents or yourself. Life is life. You will just be making a new life that is all. Never, hate or blame yourself or feel guilty you have no part in their breakup. That my friend is between two adults - you will understand much later in life, but for the moment stay young and get your parents to sit down and talk to you about the future - You have a right to know. Good luck - you sound like sensible guy.

Kk:D

if you really do love them you will know that they dont love eachother any more
they defanatly love you though so dont think that its your fault
its really hard but the first year or so is the hardest so once that is over with it begins to be a routine and seems normal. just be strong for the next year or so and you will see that they are more happy, you will be happy because there is less fighting, and if you are a teenager there is already enough drama in your life so if your parents arnt together then you dont have to worry about there drama!!
YAY! 2 C

you don't really deal with it, life just goes on and you live your life, but it does effect you, you may find that you angry for a while that will change your personality abit for a while, just don't let it ruin your life, have a plan for your life and get on with it, that way it wont bother you much.

pseudonymn

yes a long time ago. i felt sad and wanted them to get back together but they didn't. i had two bedrooms and maybe more quality time with each parent. i just accepted not feeling happy about it.

rencnielsen

my parents divorced when i was 16. for some reason it didnt affect me very much. i just lived with my mom, saw my dad on occasion, and everything turned out fine. society has placed a rediculously negative spin on divorce and u are taught by example that you absolutely have to be negatively affected by divorce, when this simply isnt true. Things only have the meaning that you give it. IF you view divorce as an opportunity for two people to go different and more positive ways in their lives, everything will be fine.;

Tyhoic

Yeah, i hated my step dad anyway.
So i favoured with my mum.
I guess you can't really relate to me.
If you are unhappy about the split up talk to them about it and tell then you are unhappy, tell them you want to spend time with them together.

Some Guy

honestly, i didnt like it but you have to get over it. dont try and get them back together. If they argue a lot try to stop them. Not by shouting at them tho. lol just talk to them.

i also find it helps to talk to people and let them know how you feel.
