Help with divorced parents!!!!!!!?

Question

My parents have been divorced for like eight years and I can't stand it! I really wish i lived with my dad because I like him a lot better. My mother hates my father and I really don't like it! A friend of mine suggested that I should live with my dad for a week just to see how different it would be. It goes against visitation limits so I don't know if its the right thing to do. I also am so very afraid of asking my mom, about this.

Should I do it?

Answer 1

your mom stands to lose a lot of money.. plus she will have to start paying child support..

i doubt she's gonna let your dad have custody.

children are too often the innocent victims of divorce.  

such is life.

Answer 2

tell both of your parents i would like to visit with my father a little bit longer than usual if you are 13 you can tell your parents who you want to live with and then tell the judge and they can switch custody.

Answer 3

You should be able to visit your dad, that sucks

Answer 4

How old are you? You should have told us. It does suck to think that you cannot see your Dad but so much; however, there is a reason, whether you know it or not. Just let your Mom know your feelings and see how it goes. Don't forget to tell her that you DO LOVE HER AS MUCH AS DAD, YOU JUST MISS HIM MORE.  

Answer 5

You got put in the middle of thier fight which stinks. Parents need to remember kids get really hurt by the fighting, name calling, and have to remember what is at stake here. You live with your mom now as a result of this, want what is familiar. At 13, you can't get a judge to say you live with your dad for good as in time, you will change your mind when something doesn't go your way and you will want your mom again.

Dad looks good right now as he isn't the heavy, your mom is having to say No to you, dad gets to buy you stuff, take you out, be the nice guy. If the shoe was on the other foot, and your dad was with you, you would want your mom. Before you judge your mom, remember how hard it is for her to be a single parent. Its not easy to have to be the one to say No, call the shots. Lots of pressure on her. Be a pal to her, and try to see it from her perspective. Your dad looks great to you now, but if you lived with him, trust me, you would be begging to come home to your mom at critical times of your life. Moms can deal with stuff dad's feel awkward about. Hang in there.

Answer 6

my parents got divorced when i was 11 years old... i cried for weeks but after what... 2 years i got over it... I stay with my dad more but i still get to see my mom. You should just talk to your mom and tell her that you want to go stay with your dad for like a week. Tell her that you really miss him and even the weekend would be enough with you. You can go to the judge and tell him/her that you want to go live with your dad... well... only if you are 13 years old
