Question

How do you feel about your parents divorcing their marriage? Does this bother you?

Answer 1

Apparently you are young. It would depend on why they would be getting a divorce, but then again, I don't think that divorce is easy for anyone.

Answer 2

I had a strong mind about my parents divorcing, so it never really bothered me because ultimately it was their decision..and now they are happier they've moved on with their lives. And besides, they both still love me just as much.  

Answer 3

When I was a teenage, my parents divorced.

For some reason, I carried guilt even though it was not my fault.

The guilt and despair I carried came from feeling like a part of your family is out in the streets, on their own and even though it is your parent who can take care of themselves, it feels like they are abandoned and they are still loved.

Its just hard on children of any age.

Answer 4

it never bothered me i was always a momma's girl and we could always see that my dad didnt  treat her right we were ready for her to be happy  

Answer 5

My parent are starting the divorce process.  I think that was the best think they could of done.  They stayed together because they wanted us to have a complete family, but it was harder on us seen them argue or ignore each other.  

No it doesn't bother me, I'm glad that they are divorcing.   We are all adults and understand that that's the best thing for all of us.  We are now going to have the best of them.  

Answer 6

My parents never really got a "formal" divorce because it was too expensive, but my dad moved out just because my mom couldn't stand living with him. After he was gone a few months, he really changed. He used to be so uptight, but he had actually relaxed, and he would even joke with us now. My mom was a lot happier, and so was my dad. They still love each other, but they don't like each other. I was ok with it since i didn't really see my dad much, but i appreciate him a lot more. Divorce can be tough,but you will be ok.

Answer 7

Sometimes divorce is for the better...I know for me personally, I hated watching my parents fight all the time (never physically)...at first its upsetting...b/c you can't even begin to fathom that two people that loved each other enough to have you are moving on separately in life...but then you remember all the yelling...and realize its better this way than thinking it'd be alright if they were still married..

Answer 8

i feel its very stupid.. you make a vow " until death do us part" that means you'll be togetjer until you die.. my mom and step-dad are in the process of divorce and its stupid! i mean come on you know better... what examples. it bothers me alot

Answer 9

I'm not sure of your age, I am 31 years old so for me it wouldn't really be a big deal, but to be honest with you I would almost welcome it because my parents fight all the time.  Now I do have my own life and family but I still get the 3am phone calls from my mother when they are arguing..

Answer 10

My parents divorced when I was 14, it really hurted me at first but then I  realized that it was the best thign they could do. Now I understand why they did I'm getting divorced too.
