divorced parents

[mxbiker]

i want to know how many people here have divorced parents or have been divorced by themself. my parents are divorced, so i'm interest to know how many people on the forum also deals with this fucked up thing.

Yeah, when I was about 9 or 10. Pretty scary when it happens. But afterwards its not actually that bad. As long as they are happy and still talk to each other afterwards, its generally not a bad thing. But if its one of those situations where they continue to argue for years after breaking up, then I would imagine it would be &$##ed being their kid.

yes my parents have been divorced for a long time. i was 6 when it happened i believe. pretty hard to comprehend what was going on at that age. i was more worried about not being able to ride my 3 wheeler as often lol. (the ol yamaha tri zingers lol). growing up was kind of tough becuase when i was 8 my brother mom and i moved 200 miles away from my dad. The worst is when ur parents get married again to other people. my stepdad was a dbag and hes long gone lol. my stepmom used to be quite the bitch but now that im much older she is a great person and we get along awesome. Shittiest part is not being around my dad near enough. we are great friends and hes an awesome dad. i'd say in a year i get to see him around 20 times, probably less. The only good thing about that is when i do get to see him its always exciting and fun. Because its either a holiday, sporting event, or we are going riding. or drinking lol.

but ya probably better they got divorced than growing up with them fighting all my life.

My parents are not divorced, but have almost been like 4 times. Its not like i want them to be divorced buy some times i think i would be better cause they never get along. I'm sure after i graduate high school they will get a divorce. Its constant fights, not real physical fights but never get along about anything.

Nope. My family is great. We never argue, and when we do, it can usually end fairly simply.

HAHA you pretty much summed up my story...except mine is a tad bit different. I was 6 when they divorced, I believe when I was 7 my dad was smoking....I'll put it nice, smokin' rocks. So ya, I didn't see him very much until I was about 10. I have alot better relationship with my mom than I do my dad. I used to remind my dad, that he could of started me riding earlier, then he says I didn't want to live with him. I then reply, I'm sorry I didn't want to live with a crackhead. He gets pretty pissed when I say it, but its the truth and sometimes the truth hurts, alot. Nowadays, I'm 22, my parents and I get along pretty good. The hardest thing about them getting a divorce is, I feel like I never really got to see my dad when I was "growing" up, and they used to fight nonstop, I hated hearing one parent talk bad about the other parent, because I loved them both.

Keyword 'usually'.

I've broke mirrors/doors, left my house for a day, my parents have got to the point where they hate my guts for a week, I've nearly punched my Dad in the face a few times. I'd say it's an average household. I just have a nac for avoiding arguments with the 'rents. I just love them because they are good role models, no matter how annoying I think they can be. I'm rather happy I'm living the way I am now, instead of living in your dads house alone while your mom is a crackwhore in Florida like one of my friends.

my parents got divorced when I was 13. I'm thankful it wasn't a messy thing. They just didn't get along. My dad moved to Illinois, then my mom and stepdad moved to florida while I stayed in Alabama. Then my stepdad became a gambling addict and stole 2k from my bank account, and I told him I was gonna fuck his world up. After that he took off and we didn't know where he went so my mom couldn't get the divorce papers served. Last month my mom got a phonecall that he had won a large sum of money at the dogtrack about an hour from their house, then 2 guys tried to rob him and shot him and he was in critical condition at the hospital. This guy is one of the shittiest people on the face of the earth. I won't go into real details. Once the doctors said he was gonna be okay, my mom had her lawyer to serve him the divorce papers, AT THE HOSPITAL!!! How awesome is that! Karma is a bitch lol. So now my mom still lives in florida and my dad has moved back down to Alabama, but spends about 3 months in Illiois during the winter working, but I get to see him alot more than I did. I have been taking care of myself since I was 18, so I understand the value of a dollar lol. Ok thats it for my life story lol.

I was around 6 or 7 when my parents divorced as well. Probably a good think since I really didn't know what was going on, but now I have two amazing step parents and everyone gets along

My parents divorced when I was 15. The day my mom told me, it was pretty traumatic but really problem-free after that point. As I found out later, my dad basically took the divorce in the legal and financial ass to keep things peaceful and without conflict over money. No one could believe the sacrifices he made to keep things civil, and he's not exactly a rich man today, partially as a result of this. Since it's happened, my mom re-married to a salesman. By the way, if you ever get the chance to marry a salesperson, don't do it! It's miserable! The man claims to have a degree in engineering, yet when he tells me that putting the TV on pause will permanently freeze the image on-screen after 10 minutes, and I don't believe him, he gets fucking pissed! By contrast, my biological father, who never went to college and had to repeat 3rd grade, totally understands the skeptical position I hold on just about everything. The fact that one makes $14 an hour and the other can afford a 7-day Caribbean cruise every year seems criminal.

Anyway, back on topic, the divorce itself wasn't very traumatic for me. A little while after it happened, my dog died and that tore me up for a week. I almost felt like a bad person, caring more for my dog than my parents, but then, neither of my parents had died. Interestingly, since the whole divorce thing, my dad and I have become best friends. In terms of our relationship, it's probably the best thing that's happened yet. Weird life, eh?
