A question(s) for post-divorce children/teens/etc...?

Question

okay..... what did/do you do to cope with what happened? do you accept you step-parent? if you have siblings, do you think their is some kind of favoritism toward them? How often do you think about it? Do you cry?Are you close to your parents and step parents....? I went through a divorce when i was 7,but i want to know how it's affected other people...

Answer 1

I accepted my stepparent, he didn't accept me. I ended up moving in with my grandma 2 years later.  

Answer 2

I don't have a step parent. Never did. I'm a grown *** man. I have my own business, making over 300,00 a year now. I'll be a millionaire in about 2 years. Life is good.

I realized that love is an illusion.

Life only has one joy, getting money.

I don't ******* cry. As I said before, I'm a grown *** man. That **** happened a long time ago.

I hate both my parents, they left me to wither while they were bickering about who got the most money and other ****. I just said **** it and left home. I don't keep in contact with my parents. Last time I checked, mom's got a house in Miami with a rich new husband. Lucky her. As for my dad, his life is ruined. He can't do anything else. Poor guy.

I realized that I would never let a woman do that to me so, I developed the philosophy of Money Over b*****s.

I had to sleep in my uncle's basement on a ******* cot with little blankets for 2 ******* years. 2 ******* years because of a divorce. I was cold during the winter and tormented during the summers.

I finally got a windfall and started making h**l of money. Business is good, profits are high and getting higher every day, just like the customers. Haha.

Answer 3

I'm 20. My parents divorced when I was about 3 or 4. I don't really remember living with both of them. My dad found another woman who is younger than my mom but so much like her. We (my sister and I) are very accepting of our step-mom. We love her. If my dad was gonna get with anyone I'm very glad it was her. Sometimes I wish my mom would find someone so she just had someone to talk to. I would totally be accepting unless he was an a*****e. In that case I'd tell my mom what I thought and she'd make a decision. It's her life. I don't think I ever cried about them getting a divorce. And I don't dwell on it. It wasn't MY fault that they aren't together. My dad was verbally abusive, so my mom got out. It had nothing to do with my sister and me.

I think the hardest part of having parents who're split up is youngsters sometimes think that their family is broken or not right. And a lot of people tend to pity you, or try to help you out too much. I never liked that. I never thought my family was broken though either.

The best thing to do when your parents get a divorce is understand that no matter what, is isn't, nor will it ever be, your fault. Sometimes just because you love someone doesn't mean you can live with them. That's what happened between my mom and dad.
