| I was lucky my parents never divorced I can imagine that if your parents divorce while you are a child, that it can really affect you in many different ways. I actually had a fairly great childhood. I got to go to the same elementary school, middle school, and high school. I lived in the same house from birth until the day I moved out. Almost every friend I grew up with had parents that were divorced and I always felt bad for them. |
| My parents are still married. My husband's parents are still married as well. My husband's siblings are all married and never divorced and the same with my side. We know that that is rare, since so many people that we know are divorced. I guess we're lucky and hopefully we'll not have to know what it's like to have to deal with this heartbreaking event. I see what it has done to children and what these divorced parents do to try to get back to each other. It really is a shame. |
#2marky mark land, canada | Ha, my life was the exact opposite! I do not have one memory of my mom and dad ever being together, they never married btw. I consideer that easier than having to witness a divorce because having my parents seperated was all i knew so i never really got upset about it at all. In fact i think i would have been weirded out if they got together! LOL. I also went to four elementary schools, two middle schools and two high schools! Phew! |
| My parents divorced when I was 5 years old. They both were right out of high school when I was born and they quickly learned that they just were not meant to be. I ended up living with my mother and seeing my father every other weekend. I took turns with each of my parents on holidays. It became quite difficult when my father moved out of state. I was hurt and angry that he left me. Right after this, my mother remarried. I had a difficult time getting along with my stepfather. High school years were the toughest. I am married now and have a 3 year old daughter. I hope and pray she never knows what it was like for me when I was growing up. |
#4marky mark land, canada | That's tough Jules. I have a friend who is basically the father in your post. He has a daughter that he only gets to see every second weekend according to the agreement he signed. He has been unhappy in the state he is and wants to move and experience life outside of Texas, but is unsure if he should do so because of his daughter and worries that she would grow to hate him even though he would visit as much as he could and he also talked to the mother who agreed that he could have the daughter during summers. Any advice? |
| I feel real bad for children that come from broken homes. My DD goes to a school where almost half of the kids in her class are divorced. It has got to be hard for the kids to jump back and forth to moms house to dads house etc..my DD has a friend in the neighborhood that she likes to play with and can't on the weekends, cause this girl is visiting her mom. |
| Hi there Jules, you seemed to had a hard time during your childhood years. I think you are very strong to get through it. I mean, if I were in your situation I would have done something bad. And now that you have a daughter, make sure that she will not experience what you have gone through. Anyway, have a great day guys and just keep all of those post coming. |
| "Divorce and The Effects Toward Kids"
When parents decided that they needed space away from each other that eventually turns out that they are getting divorce, the kids will always be the ones affected in the process. So what do the kids do? Nothing but cry, hoping that their parents would be together again. But that is life. There are some things in life that would not work at all. And so what is important is that we try to know the person we are to marry before we tie the knot. |
