And I thought everything was going ok, especially since they had a baby just a few months ago. I just don't get it. My dad has been separated due to divorce and death on more than 3 occasions.

He is living in Texas now. That's too far away from here, and now I don't have anyone here. There is no reason for me to even be in Georgia besides my young siblings. This really sucks. I know my stepmother tripped from time to time but she has a good heart.

I really hate to hear these types of news. I don't know what I am going to do now. I was starting to get things together but now this. Families being broken apart is very heartbreaking and it really discourages me.

This may not seem a big deal to most, but I never lived through a divorce with my dad. My mother only died, but of course that was worse than any divorce. I'm not asking for a pity party.

I often wonder how my parents manage to stay together.

I love my dad, but he can be a real prick sometimes.

I don't really know how that feels since my parents divorced when I was 9 but yeah... it's stupid how many people divorce these days.

It's even more stupid to see how many people marry these days.
Seriously, what triggers quick divorces? Quick and unprepared weddings.

Quick and unprepared weddings.

This. My dad didn't even know my stepmother for more than a couple of months, so I was pretty disappointed when I heard they got married on my way to Georgia for my first time. She was a friend of his sisters. They both worked together at Verizon Wireless.

He had two children with my stepmom. I know times are rough and we all need someone, but preparation means everything.

My parents never got married.

My dad's dead, and my mom doesn't want to see me anymore.

Life sucks. Nothing you can do about it.

 

[Heartz♥]

I'm really sorry, Marik.

 

[.Marik]

Don't be.

You said it yourself, you don't want a pity party.

I'm just stating the cold, hard fact that life is unforgiving and stuff happens.

 

[Paixy]

same happened here a few months ago. I thought everything was ok, didn't expect it at all...

if it makes them both happier though, it's obviously for the best.

 

[Teran]

I think it's the modern, unrealistic expectations of marriage and love.

People want too much out of it.

My mom and dad divorced, I heard ur situation sounds worst. Anyways, after that my family just feel split up, it doesn`t feel like family to me anymore, I just live like that, because i don`t want a pity party either heh

 

[Super_Sonic8677]

That really sucks Kasey. I can't really relate to you as my parents didn't really divorce. My Dad just became progressively more or a psychotic *******.

What about your step mom, what's she doing in all of this?

I hope things in the end work out for you and you still at least have Gryphon to look to for support, right? In the end..time fixes most everything..or at least makes it manageable.

I think it's the modern, unrealistic expectations of marriage and love.

I hate to agree with this, but I have no choice, because it's true.

I am myself the product of a 2nd marriage.

Having children complicates everything.

"till death do us part" is a vow I made before God and state, and I will see it to the end, even at the expense of my own happiness. If anything I'll be able to say I'm one of the few that didn't get divorced. Is marriage a sacrifice? Yes. And a good one, if you're ok with knowing you mainly did it to keep from being alone.

I'm so sorry If you ever need to talk, send me a PM/VM or talk to me on AIM. I'm always here to help.

 

[¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯]

Sorry to hear it, Heartz. I agree with Teran and Ryu. People need to think about getting married, and not think of it as a magical event that will make everything better. It isn't.

My parents are divorced too. It happened when I was 6, I didn't even know what was going on. One day my mom and I just moved out. Life sucks sometimes.

 

[ndayday]

Lot of divorced families here. My parents got divorced too.

Hope things get better for you Heartz.

My parents are still married to this day. In fact, they're having their 25th anniversary this year come August.

Looking back on it, I definitely feel so unbelievably fortunate that both my mom and dad raised me well and provided me with such a stable childhood. I know I've wrote a few blog entries about how my deck is one of the biggest right-wing nutjobs you'll ever meet, that doesn't take away from the fact that he still loved his wife and his family, and didn't do anything abusive at all. It's a bit weird, but it's true.

I have been around all sorts of friends when I was in high school who grew up with divorced families. I remember going to a few of their houses when they would invite me over and it opened my eyes on just how lucky I was to have two parents who truly loved each other and me.

My parents were never married. They broke up when I was 3 or 4 I think. I still remember that day. Whatever, I don't give a **** about much anymore. Which is one of the reasons I fight so much.

 

[Heartz♥]

Well, I talked to my dad about it a bit more. My stepmother is fine. She is staying in my aunt's daycare house and is working for her, which is great since she has my two little brothers as well. My father is in Dallas, Texas, and sometime soon I may be moving down there as well.

 

[zeldspazz]

Jesus, Im feel so fortuneate that my parents are coming up on their 20th Anniversary.

My heart goes out to all of you who had to go through stuff like that ;_;
