parents don't need to be divorcing while they still have their child living with them

You just can't forget that even though your parents don't love each other, this is a kind of divorce where they can still cooperate to make you happy. They might even tough it out a little bit and become awkward friends.

They still love you, and both of them will do whatever they can to make you happy. They will probably have seperate homes and you might have to go around a bit in a schedule, but nothing much will change except one parent figure not being around a lot. Just show them that you love them both, and be very understanding, because this is very hard for them as it is hard for you, and being a thorn in their side isn't going to help anything.

I am not saying this is going to be easy, but you have to fight through it, because in a reality where they stay together will go about ending up in an even worse relationship.

You are wrong and need to get out.


your life won't change that much, trust me

my parents divorced when i was 7-8 or something and i honestly didn't even care. i don't feel like i've turned out worse because of it. it felt pretty good because it put an end to the constant bickering and it made the house very peaceful

Parents got divorced in the 3rd grade, it wasnt that big of a deal until mom got pretty depressed all the time. Dads a deadbeat cigarette anyways. Its just something to get through though. Borrowed authority, but Im sure we all can help out if you need some reassurance.

There have been several divorces in my close family. I was either not born or too young to remember any ofthem though. My dad's parents were in a horrible cutthroat divorce. His mom rallied all the kids against their dad to the point where nothing but livid hate was towards him. My dad didn't jump on the bandwagon and continued to talk to him. His mom and siblings all changed their last names and disowned by dad. Patches have been made in some places (occasional phone conversations, very rare meet ups, etc) but everything remains awkward and I don't see members of that side of my family very often.

My parents will be married for 20 years in May 2015.

It will suck for a short while but like Yosher said, your life really won't change much.

It'll change a lot depending on which parent you end up with. I chose my father at first, horrible idea.

well i guess it can't really be said what exactly will happen, since every parent is different and leaves a different impact on their child(ren)

i personally do not care about my dad's absence since all he really did was try to force religion on me anyways, but i have no idea what OP's dad is like
