Apparently a majority of the board belongs to children of divorced parents. That, or a majority of the internet. It's strange.

The majority of marriages in the United States fail. I don't know what the percent is for marriages with kids, but it can't be too far, if at all, below 50% so it would make sense that the majority of kids have divorced parents.

There are a lot of pros for the kids when parents get divorced.

Like what? My parents got back together and it's a lot better than when they were divorced.

My parents are divorced and it loving sucks, I have to get 2 good computers to be able to play games, all of my school work gets forgeted up and i can't make any deals like "lets play this and that game" because i might be at the other parent that week, I have to get used to 2 sets of different house rules and routines, its harder to hang out with friends because i live in 2 different places so i have to remind them of my location all the time so we can be in the correct place.

So yeah forget you for even saying that there is something fine with it.

There are really no two christmases. Either one of your parents will become a cheap stuff who will only buy you something they liked themselves and didn't even consider your opinion, don't expect any holiday feast either because "now that there's only a half a family to feed were just going to eat ordinary food". Oh and no, Neither of your parents will not be happy because they will fight over the turns they can take care of you and you have to listen to their stupid ass propaganda about how horrible your other parent is so they can convince you to stay with them.

You break one in half and you get 2 halves.

[ultimamax]

Bump

Mom just left. She came downstairs and said she was taking my little brother to a friends house in wenatchee, and she is supposedly staying for a few days, but I can feel that she won't come back. I said I didn't want to go, because I couldn't leave my father here by himself, and after she left my father came downstairs crying. And this was not a usual tear in the eye, he was full on crying, and I have never seen the old man so broken down. I hugged him and told him to stay strong. I am so glad I stayed, because if I went he probably would have been so alone, no support, and would have gone insane. Right now I feel like the only thing keeping my dad alive, and it will be a lot better when my older brother gets back tomorrow.

[Böltster]

it's far better for you that they divorce, just don't get yourself all mentally forgeted because of the initial change.

i've seen families who try to stay together "for the kids", and it always ends up damaging them more than a divorce would have.

Don't let your mom forget your dad financially so that he has to spend the rest of his life in an apartment in a shady neighborhood working three jobs because your mom demands she be payed 100k a year to take care of you.
