anyone go through divorcing parents? i need some help dealing with it :(

My parents are newly divorced after 24 years. I've been out of the house for a while so it doesn't impact me directly, but it does suck. I do think they are both happier now that they are apart, so that's good.

Whatever you do, do not blame yourself. These things happen and there is nothing you can do about it. What you can do is be supportive to both parents individually. When my parents broke up I told them both that I love them and support them, but I will not assign blame or take sides. It's shitty situation to be in, but hang in there, support them, and you'll get through it.

yep it sucks. My parents divorced and some of the things that i went through after that sure did leave a few scars. You constantly get 1 parent bitching about the other then the dad saying he refuses to give any money to help support you just because your mum would benefit from it. it was really hard times for me. I was fortunate enough that both parents were able to sort things out and get back together. Stay strong, don't blame yourself and try and spend time with friends to help comfort you. I dunno its weird despite being through all of it I don't really know what to say. Sorry

All I can say is, even if your parents are divorced, you are still your own person. One day when you grow up, you'll move out, and so you won't be able to depend on them always, right? My point is, these things happen, but just don't let it change you (for the worse), and don't let it make you forget the good things in life that you still have.

Umm I dont have divorced parents but most of my family members are divorced and I suggest listening to anime music (shojo like) and pretend your life is a movie and the happy ending is comming soon!!! =P

well....hey..its worth a shot!

Yup, my parents got divorced when I was just 4, its sucked because they did n't tell me.I just figured out the story 2 yrs ago...and both of them are blaming each other. My mom's story says that its my dad's fault while my dad tells me its my mom's fault.But whatever you do my advice is to try to accept it, accept the fact that they're getting divorced...I tried the other way, by being rebellious and it did'nt work of course. Just try to accept it, espeicially when you're mom is going to marry another guy!

My parents got divorced before I was born, and I have had to learn the story about it bit by bit, and I still don't think I know all the details (I'm 18 now =P). For years I thought they divorced when I was like 4, but actually it was before I was born. I don't know what happened, and I have never been to my dad's house, so I can only guess that he has a family of his own that he has told me nothing about. You could say I'm a bit lucky, since I haven't known any different, I have never lived with my dad.
But even though your mum and dad might not love each other anymore, you are still their child, and they still love you. Initially things can be a bit tense, but after a while, they should hopefully be able to bear the differences, because you are still there, and you are their priority, no matter what else is happening at the time.

Though there is no easy way to go through a divorce, it really depends on how old you are when they actually do it. Though my parents have never been divorced there are...some moments they were close to it....

Yeah I went through a divorce when I was like six so I went through it too. I didn't really have any probelms until later. I don't know what you're family's like but mine is so totally screwed up. I feel like a lovechild from the king's one mistake. Not my sister though, she acts like you go her way or move the hell out of it. So just don't care and let it all pass over you. Find one side of the family you like if you can and if they you accept make it like that. I've tried the whole bridge between two families crap and all I can say is it's bull.I know it's hard to take advice from complete strangers but that's just the hard truth. You'll be better off. So in summary all I have to say even if you feel like crap now, all you have to do is choose a path and run it.

My mom and dad separated in 1999. At first I went through this " Dad's an evil man" phase. Not because I wanted to, but because that's what I was always told. My mom and big brother always told me that. They got divorced a few years later.

To make this one short. I don't think I'll ever be the same. I think they screwed me up beyond repair. Nothing will change what happened, I am who I don't want to be because of it. You may not be as changed as I was and that's a good thing.

Although, you won't forget it. That might be enough to change you forever. It was me. Like someone said," Just never forget who you are. I forgot who I was, and it has been bad for me. If you need encouragement, I'll be here for you. AIM,MSN or just e-mail me.
