I think divorce can … I think divorce can be great if the parents work together. I was 7 when my parents broke up but Dad moved to a house a few streets away. I spent a week at each house until I was 16 and then settled at my Mum’s for the last few years of school. Now I’m 21graduated Uni, I’m happy, my parents are happy. I’ve had a happy relationship for 3 years, heaps of great friends. Some divorces have happy endings.
i wish i could take … i wish i could take this video and shove it in my parents faces. my mom is divorcing my dad and is often seeing me depressed by it and crying, and says she knows how it feels because she went through a divorce too. but she was just born when her parents had a divorce so she doesn’t know how much pain it causes me.
i don’t know what to do anymore. im hopeless. if this stupid marriage wasn’t meant to be then whats the point of me living??!!
I think divorce is … I think divorce is the best option when parents are fighting constantly. I’m 100% happier now that I don’t have to see or hear all of the fighting anymore
abusive couples are … abusive couples are 2 abusive people..just because they divorce does not make the kids any safer..in worse cases mom is a cronic victim and remarries a meaner badder man.
I agree! I don’t … I agree! I don’t see how divorce is so bad when compared to abusive couples or couples that fight with each other constantly in front of their children! Would you rather have a fighting couple or a separated one?
I see the point … I see the point here but its really not just about how the children are effected here b/c you have to take into account the welfare and happieness of the parents…. if tehy ahte eachother and dont get along then they dont HAVE to be together…. but yea im from a divorced family… it sucks no doubt about it buut my parents would be in a constant rage at eachotehr and they’d take it out on me if they hadnt split…… but hey im just one person with one opinion son yea.
I think one way … I think one way divorce affects children is that it makes children of divorce afraid of commitment in a relationship cause they’re afraid of repeating what their parents did.
If your parents … If your parents actually try to be friends and, even though they may not really want to, to get along and work out a way that you can see them both and do it often, then actually it’s really not bad. I was a year older than you are now when my parents split up. At the time, sure it was terrifying, but everyone was so much less tense and more at-ease afterwards, but then my parents made the effort.
I’m now 28. I was … I’m now 28. I was 13 when they parted ways. I don’t know what you mean by “A baby that’s born before its time almost always has issues” though. It’s not really clear what you’re getting at. I think that all my siblings and both my parents were better off for divorce. You just cannot force people who no longer work as a couple to stay together, it’s impractical and overly simplistic to think that marriage/being in a couple is automatically a good thing.
While I do agree, … While I do agree, divorce takes a terrible toll on many children.. I feel it is important to emphasize how many children are SAVED by divorce. By getting away from a horrible situation that has grown beyond what the parent can shield them from. Yes, while many children ache for their parents to get along.. there are a great many that ache for peace.
There are two sides to this coin. Life is messy and happy endings come in all shapes and sizes.
I would have gone into court totally not ready If it wasn't for your information package. Thank you for me and my son. We’re together because of you. -R. Foster, WA, USA
