If you have divorced parents,

[TherapeuticeVent]

How old were you when they told you and how were you told?

I was six years old and my mom and dad sat me and my twin sister down in our living room and told us that although they still loved each other they couldn't live together anymore and that we would go live with mommy.
My dad cried. I will remember that day forever.

[SigmaSD]

I was like 2 or younger when my parents got divorced so I don't remember, sorry. But living without a father didn't really affect me much.

[sugoi-san]

My parents have married and divorced more times than I can count. I turned out just fine.

<.< Ignore my loli Kona-chan avatar.

[Hanamaru Kunikida]

4 years ago to be exact. =\ But they are living together though for the sake of my little brother. :\

[Erisa]

My parents were never married but they were togethere and then broke up
You could say. I was like 1 lmao

[DOOM!]

This little group therapy session is about to come to a tragic divorce, boys and girls.
Oh, and for the topic, things work out much better when your parents begin to die one by one. If they don't, you should at least try to give them a little cancer.

[sugoi-san]

O______o'

[aishiteru333]

O.o
My parents aren't divorced but they don't live together.
I'm actually the reason why we don't live together. LOL! I decided it was best for all of us...
I was 12. It all went well!

[Acnologia]

I was 15

Mom: I'm divorcing your father
Me: It's about damn time

[Inactive Account 0061]

Was 12. Didn't get told anything. It just happened.... My parents fails >.>

[Baka]

My parents were never married. I didn't even meet my dad til I was 8 or 9. That's why I get along better with girls>??? Or maybe it's just because girls are cuter???

[sugoi-san]

Me: It's about damn time
Those are going to be my final words.

[Sir_Vlaken]

I was six and we got back from universal studios and my dad was being an meanie and they were fighting, i was in the room with my sister crying and my dad came in crying and said that he has to get a divorce [Bascially]...it sucked....hes in jail now >>

[Capernicus]

I was about 2 when they separated and 3 when the divorce was final. So, I wasn't told and if I was don't remember it. I turned out alright. And it should be noted that I'm not gay because of that. <.<

[Meyrin]

I think I was about 6 when my parents divorced. My parents were having problems so they told me that I did not have to grow up seeing them fighting. My dad remarried two years later and got a divorce again but luckily for me my parents are getting married again the 1st of august:D

[toxic tea]

My parents never married. I met my dad when i was 4 years old.

[Saint Seiya]

they got divorced in february, it was good, i was happy actually, now i live with my mom

[Forgotten Show]

I was like 2 or younger when my parents got divorced so I don't remember, sorry. But living without a father didn't really affect me much.

Erm, since you didn't grow up with a father, how can you know this?

Bad Memory

[Fabala]

I was approximately 10. It was the summer following 4th grade. My parents had determined to tell us (myself and three siblings) together, but as a final jab my father told us himself. I remember not being terribly surprised, and not even very sad. They fought all the time, so it seemed only natural.

My mother tells me I asked her following the news, "Does this mean I'm going to have a new Daddy?" I had more than one friend with a stepfather >.>

[Akihiko Yamamoto Hozagaki]

I was about 3 when my parents separated. My dad stayed around for a little while, trying to give me a good father figure. However, he failed utterly when he decided he would rather live with his girlfriend than stay with his daughter. He officially left my life when I was 8. My mother and father are not done with the divorce papers yet, though. My mom started when I was about 13.

Is it hard? Sometimes, but I love my mother, and she acts like both to me. The major bummer about the divorce papers not being finished is the fact that I can't get a passport yet.

[~DizzyElf~]

My parents split before I was born, but when they found out my mom was pregnant with me, they gave it another shot. I was two or three when it happened, so I had no idea what any of it meant. There was no explination- and I wasn't really hurt since I didn't understand.
I saw my dad on weekends and that's how our buisness went about.

The funny thing is, both my parents are remarried, but my dad married our next door neighbor who used to baby sit me. So she's like a second mom to me since she's known me since I was born.

Does it suck? It only really sucked having my brother live with my dad and leaving me with my mom and stepdad. I still hold a grudge, that he doesn't know about. It's almost sad to think about that. I'm mad at my brother when my parents divorced. Maybe it's because I feel he had the life I wanted, and I feel if I left I would be abandoning my mom- and I don't want that.

Blah. So much emotion in one question. haha.
Sorry.
All is well.

[Noskee88]

remember its better to marry the right women at the wrong time then to marry the wrong women at the right time :closedeye

[naotavespaboy]

About a year ago now my just left my dad with my brother and sister. I was already living alone by then so it didnt affect me too bad. My little sis it did, and my dad so I go visit them more regularly then I did befor.

[Japandora]

I was about 3 years old. However, my parents' marriage has always been based off mutual passion for the arts and a friendship, not love, so it wasn't the sort of divorce a lot of people imagine with lots of screaming and door slamming and lawyers and such. My biological parents remain friends to this day.

[sugoi-san]

My divorce was like that. We had really married out of convenience so it was like "So is now a good time? Okay, cool." *filefilefile*

*nodnod*

[benjamin89]

My folks got divorced when I was two years old so cant say I remember mutch of it. I havent had any contact with my father after that.

[nenuma]

I guess a lot of people turn out just fine when they have divorced parents. I dont really know what I'd feel/do, so it was a pretty good thing to know that maybe it's not that bad.

[SigmaSD]

Erm, since you didn't grow up with a father, how can you know this?


Well nothing seems wrong with me, as far as I know. *checks self* Yeah I don't see anything wrong. But you know how some people that never grew up with two parents talk about how hard it was to see others with both their parents or something similar like that? I meant that I never felt that way. Well my mom's bf had been with us since we were young but well... he's not exactly what one would call a father figure.

[Akatsuki_Gurl]

I was five. My parents alway fought. Every day. We couldn't even have dinner without them fighting. And they'd always yell really loud. And they'd hit each other. My mum told me that's probably why I got accustom to locking myself in my room when my family would get in huge yelling and physical fights. Something about me always doing it when her and my dad fought.

They weren't married until right before I was born. But if they fought as much as they did, they shouldn't have gotten married to begin with. They still fight a lot to this day. And my mum blames me. But I don't listen to her anyway. I live with my dad now. I did live with my mum, but I wanted to live with my dad.

[Cloud.]

It was around '99-2000. I was 10 years old.

It didn't happen as calmly as it did for the OP. There was never any physical violence, nothing like that, but there was yelling. My dad moved out, and now lives like 10, 15 minutes away. And my parents are cool with each other, so in the end it worked out alright. But there was a huge period of drama involving my step-dad but I won't get into that.

Divorce sucks though, plain and simple.

[International 4-8818]

My parents divorced when i was 5 and got remarried again. My mom became crazy and my dad divorced her again this year. Let me tell you this kids, divorce is a blessing. Divorce in a sense gave me a life. Yippie
