Question

okay, so my parents just got divorced last year, my dad has a new girlfriend and my mom is really upset and mad. yesterday we found out that my dad wanted to turn off the elecricity on us but my mom keeps taking it out on me and my sisters and putting us in the middle. its really hard, and really upsetting. what should i do?

Answer 1

you need to tell them that its not fair to put you in the middle.

i sometimes have the same problems with my divorced parents. its not fair and you need to make that clear

Answer 2

Those b******s.

Bad parents.

Shame on them.

They will regret this behavior later when their emotions have settled.

They will realize how incredibly selfish they are acting.

They will forever be shamed.

Print this out and put it on the table.  

Answer 3

Tell them how you feel.  Maybe they don't realize the affect that it's having on you.  As a child of divorced parents.....sometimes there's nothing you can do, but give it time and get away.

Answer 4

You call your Dad and tell him what he does with his love  life is HIS business but to turn the power off on his kids shows he is not much of a man or a father,then hang up.

Tell your mom you are sorry she is upset by what your dad is doing but SHE is the one who PICKED him to marry and it is not your fault and she needs to deal with it and leave you and your siblings out of it.If she has a problem with him having a g/f they need to hash it out.

Answer 5

A lot depends on your age. Most family courts will hear a 12 year old and will allow a 14 year old to determine which parent she or she will stay with.  I would suggest moving in with your dad so you will be ignored instead of abused. There is a lot of freedom in being ignored.

Other than that, the only thing I can suggest for you and your siblings, is doing the basic stuff to try to stay under your mom's radar... pick up after yourselves, do whatever chores assigned to you without being nagged, get good grades, and stay out of trouble.

When you can, get a job after school and save your money so you will be able to launch out of there. You will need money for deposits on your first place and utilities. Every preparation you do toward your own independence will make you feel better.

Answer 6

you should really talk to them. its important that they know the truth.

the best way to do it is when they are together, ask your mother if he can come over one day because you need to talk to them...together. and once they are there together dont give them chance to start arguing you sit them down and tell them how you feel. i dont just mean half of the story...tell them how you really feel. how it is affecting you, because their problems shouldn't interfear w/ your life. best of luck to you. hope i helped
