[영원한 사랑]

I've always thought one of these years my parents will divorce, cuz theres alot they disagree on and my dad is so stubborn that it drives my mom crazy sometimes.

Although, I personally don't think it would affect me much if they did, since I'm not close with my dad. I spend alot more time with mom and only when we go on family trips or something, we are together.


Anyways, would it affect you alot if your parents divorced??
Or would you still be happy???

x_X' hm.......
iunno. it'd kill me to see them [the first two lovers i saw in life] be angry at each other.
but if they were cool about it then.. it'd be a little disappointing at least. _ might affect the way i see marriages/love?

o-0' since i see life as a metaphor... i might see it as two conflicting and separated sides of myself.

[ROCKETTOTHEMOON]

Oh how nice that would be.

[hiswendy]

I'm not exaggerating but I feel like if they do, I honestly will commit suicide.

[yeuthuong]

my parents are divorced and it didn't really affect me at all. i guess it was bc i was never really close to my dad.

[~ BunnyliciouS ~]

I guess if you accepted it with an open mind, you would still be happy.
my hubby's parents were divorced when he's 4 y.o. It doesn't affect him.
He still contacts his mom occasionally who's been living in Canada.
He's very good relationship with his new mom and step-sister too.

I probably be depresseed all day, a pain you can't describe with words. =(

When my parents divorced, it didn't hurt much (maybe because they split whaen I was 5...)
It hurts a little now that I can understand what's going on but when I look at my mom, then examine my dad I figured it couldn't have worked out anyway...

I just don't like my stepmother...

[k i m c h i *]

I've never been close to either one of my parents. But if they were to divorce, I wouldn't know what to say or do.
I'm so used to seeing them together that I just will not be able to picture them apart.
I think that I will be taking it pretty harshly.

[sunnyworld]

i would die inside, be depressed
i live because of both of my parents, i wouldnt be able to be seperated from one of them
it'd make me so sad and i'd mope for a really long time

[thesisoflove]

well, for sure i know they will divorce one day, my mom told me.
i dont even bothering caring anymore considering i've been through the process of their huge a-- quarrel.

[Seriah]

it would affect me a lot since i am close to my parents.
i wouldn't be happy, but i'd learn to accept it.

[dorkafied!]

at this age? it would affect me, a lot. Knowing that i've
gotten closer with my parents. Otherwise, if they
divorced when I was younger (a baby - 3 years old) i
dont think itd affect me as much as it would at my
current age.

[mrsjaejoong]

i'd be so crushed b/c i don't want to imagine my parents with other ppl. that would make me sick to the stomache
and i would be even more upset to see my younger siblings being affected too. thank god they're happy

[ParappaRappa]

they already divorced when i was 9. dont really remember how much it hurt. i was just depressed when it happened and cried if i ever thought about it. so i never thought about it. i didnt believe/kno for sure that my parents were divorced until 4 years later...at 13 haha XD

[naoto]

. Every time I see a child holding hands with a mom and dad, I am so envious and think how lucky he is to have a perfect life. Every time I shovel the snow or cut the grass, I wonder why I have to do it and not dad. It's been 15 years.

[leongfun]

Oh how nice that would be.

When my parents first announced they were splitting up about four years ago, I honestly was kind of relieved. I'd seen it coming. They weren't as bad as a lot of couples who divorce are with each other, but they definitely had been really unhappy with each other and in constant simmering conflict for years. At first it actually wasn't bad because they got along very well--even better after my dad moved out than before--but things have only been going downhill and getting harder since then! It's actually still affecting me a lot four years later. I started out very accepting, it wasn't bad at all for a few years, but now I just feel exasperated with both of my parents. I guess it's easier if you're much closer to one parent than the other, but it's more difficult if you're stuck in the middle. Even hundreds of miles away at school for most of the year, it's hard to be happy when your parents talk smack about each other every time they talk to you, make each other poor with legal battles so you can barely afford school anymore, toss your younger brother around like a football...Just argh!

My dad moved out four years ago and my parents more or less officially separated. They were pretty friendly with each other and shared my brother and me about equally with relatively little fighting. We still did some things all together sometimes. My parents were almost like friends in a fragile sort of way. My brother and I moved back and forth a lot between parents, but we were OK with that. They couldn't agree on the terms of an actual divorce, though. Then last year my mom decided to sue my dad for full custody of my brother even though she didn't really want to take him away from my dad completely; she just wanted to force him to change certain things. He thought the reasons she gave him for it sounded like BS. Legal battles ensued that have only just now ended (as in two weeks ago).
My parents have finally worked out their actual divorce and set up the custody agreement for my brother, but in the meantime it's been like walking on eggshells, my parents have become extremely bitter towards each other, my brother's become like the monkey in the middle, and they've burned through more than twice my annual university tuition's worth in legal fees between the two of them. My mom is now pretty close to poor and has to move out so my dad can move back in, since he bought her out of the house I grew up in under their agreement. I'm an international student in university, so I get no slack from my school when it comes to paying tuition, regardless of changes in my family's financial situation. I may have to go back to my home country now and change schools, either that or I'll have to borrow like hell to stay here and dig myself deeper in debt.

So yes, I'd say my parents' divorce has affected me, and although I was neutral about it and fine with it for three years, it's made life much worse this past year or so. I hope things improve at least a little now that the legal issues have finally been hammered out and the divorce is finally official. And to think I used to think I was so much luckier than almost anyone else I knew whose parents divorced! It makes me scared to marry anyone. It's especially scary because I've watched my dad go from a very nice, amiable, calm man to someone completely different and both of my parents have turned bitter.

Wow....too much detail. Sorry, guess I needed to get that off my chest. Maybe someone else will be able to relate, I don't know. Just know that divorce does complicate things a lot if both parents stay in the picture, and like many things in life, it seems simpler until it happens and you realize how many little things it changes.

I don't think that it would have a huge impact on me. I'm older and much more mature than I used to be, so I could probably accept it. Back then, I'd probably be like: "NOOOOOOO." XD;;

And if both of my parents are happier with a divorce, then so be it. I can't be selfish and only think about me all the time.

[Hakiri]

It did affect me a lot, but I got over it eventually.
Being upset over something that cannot be helped is pointless.
