So my parents are getting divorced

This sucks. 34 years in the making, I guess. Honestly, I thought it was going to have five or six years ago, but hey, better late than never. They haven't been happy for a long time but still.

It's weird being in your 20's and your mom dropping that on you either way. Just sucks.

I'm sure it does suck and there are going to be moments where it's really painful. But if you think you can, try to see this as a positive thing. Your parents have made a decision that actually takes a lot of courage. They've decided that they still want to go for what they really want in life and to try to be happy, and not stay in a negative situation for the rest of their lives. Lots of people just stay where they are, even if it's shit, because it's familiar and safe.

even adults can change though. it happens. sorry *hug*

Personally I don't really care a whole lot. Shitty to say, but me and my older brother have kinda seen this coming for awhile. For the last five years or so, they weren't like they were when my brother and I were growing up. They hit a real rough patch and we kinda thought it was going to happen then, but they made it three more years. Go them.

Just sucks for my little brother though. Just about to become a teenager and he's gotta deal with this. That was the best time of my life, at least father-son wise, and now I'm assuming he's going to live with my mom since my dad works a lot. I'm gonna stay for awhile with him but I may have a move coming up that takes me away from the area. Part of me wants to stay for him, but I don't know. I mean, if he can't have his father with him, he needs somebody, ya know. I feel kinda responsible to be that guy.

If you couldn't tell, if I made it vague, I don't get along with my dad anymore. My little brother deserves a better dad than him. As for my mom, well, I don't really know what to say because I care for her about as much as I care for a stranger on the street. Whatever. Living with her is going to be hard, but it's for my brother, so I'll deal.

kidnap your brother.

my p's got divorced when I was 7. my mom's been widowed and divorced since, and on her 4th husband now (this one's for keeps, I think). my dad's 3rd divorce was finalized in december.

shit happens. don't make yourself miserable by staying at home if you don't want to.


don't mean to be harsh, just sayin'. life goes on and hopefully your parents will be happier people apart, and therefore better parents.

or maybe they're just assholes and you should really kidnap your brother.
