Yeah, I feel ya... I really had a hard time when I was with my step father and mum and I decided I went on living alone at age 17 and now that I am 26, I feel like I wasted my entire adolescence coping with the stress of living with him and having to love on my own all of a sudden

I was 10 when my parents divorced. Today, at 33, I am still suffering from the impact of that divorce. There are still certain issues between my parents that remain unsettled due to which I’ve come to realise that what has always been more important to my father was/is his own desires. He may try to prove his love to us but his selfishness is more prominent from his actions. I have to love him because he is my father and I have no other choice than loving him but he doesn’t hold that respect in my heart.

When they fight and divorce, they don't think once of their children. They don't think once how much that is effecting the little ones. A cousin of mine died in brain hamerage for over mental pressure. She was only 13. Her father lived in Italy with his girlfriend and mother in Australia with her husband and New kids. They wouldn't call her for once and kept scolding her if she tried to talk to them, reasoning that they have moved on from their past and she is just a burden.

I am breaking down in my bathroom over the pain and guilt of watching my 3 year old screaming, crying, begging for his daddy. Telling me his daddy is gone and is never coming back. Telling me he is hurting. And I cant fix it. I dont know what to do anymore, the pain is getting to be too much. His father came back into his life recently, just to relapse on drugs and now has moved across the state. Leaving him in his dust. I dont know where to turn, what to do. It's all falling apart. I hate myself for letting this happen. I hate myself period.

Possibly not now but i can tell you from experience that later on in life your child will be thankful for the fact that you were always there for them.

I’m so sorry this happening to your guys. It would be good to get counseling. I have found that someone with experience and an outside perspective can help a lot. I’ve been in a similar place but my daughter was 2 and my parents helped out a lot. She’s 17 now and doesn’t really care if she sees her dad or not. Eventually you and your son will get to a better place but counseling can help you deal with what’s happening now. I didn’t ask for help then but I have another issue and I got help this time. It’s making life so much easier. Be blessed!

Sitting here at 37. I am all of these kids. Shaking with rage at how blind parents can be. Like when they inanely grin "Oh, we realised that we shouldn't be fighting in front of X" or "We now listen to them"... Radical idea that... How did it require a professional to tell you that? This is what I can't understand and is at the root of my anger towards my parents and tbh pretty much all authority. Parents fought for years before the divorce became 'official'. You grow up in fear, never knowing if that day will be the last time you have a mum and dad that's together. Ultimately it's fruitless as you can't hold back the tide and you just give up and go into yourself looking for some comfort and protection from what feels like an incessant onslaught of pain. Wrapped up in their own world and making no attempt to see things from yours. I don't wanna hate my parents. I'm 37 not 14 yet I cannot change what happened and how I felt. That child is still alive inside me, more alive than the exterior of an adult people look at me as. NO idea if or how this can ever be 'fixed' or changed. I see a counsellor but it doesn't bring any closure. If it does, it's hard to see.

I hear ya, I wish parents could see the damage they do. However, I’ve learned to accept that they do the best they can and sometimes they can’t think to do better. Both my parents and my husband’s parents have terrible relationships so we tried to have a home where we didn’t argue in front of the kids. Now, my marriage is falling apart because we avoided arguments by not talking. I hope you can forgive your parents. Counseling is helping us a little but I guess it’s not a perfect system, nothing is. We’ve failed so many times as parents but we keep trying and I hope kids will see that’s as they grow up.

I can't stop crying reading this. I am 26 in the middle of making a career and my parents are 2 different individuals ho hardly agree on things. They fight a lot, like a lot and sometimes stop talking. I know my mother has compromised a lot as well, which is why now as I am a grown up (however still in the midst of making a career) my mother has started to lose her patience. W/o realising I cannot help them w/o a career of my own and with no peace and very irregular love under the roof, it is hard. I go back to the memories from the past and blame myself at times that now I shouldn't be bothered since I am not a kid anymore. But being a single child, with limited friends and fully involved in my family (parents) it is hard to not be affected. In our society divorce isn't appreciated so they continue to live under 1 roof and keep fighting. I dont even want them to be divorced, I love them both, but at times it takes a toll on me. Reading your comment makes me feel children who grow up in env. like this miss on things and that missing regret never goes away, after all we all have this life.

Mom and dad divorced when i was 11. Dad remarried had kids ( younger brothers ) and just ghosted me. I dont hold it against him now that in 40 because life in NY is hard financially and after all he was not missed because my mom became my mom/dad/best friend and my right hand… i absolutely love my mom and it pains me to know she is much older. Wish I could turn back the hands of time so we can spend more time together.

Mee Mee I was 5 years old moving back and forth only feeling like cargo that didn’t really matter . Weekends weren’t mine just mom or dads . Both saying they’re just trying brain wash you against me . Going to school seeing other kids parents pick them up ,seeing other kids parents at the school play. Getting home to empty house just reading a note I’ll be back at 5:00pm mom had work love you. “ Your Lucky you get 2 Christmas’s, 2 birthdays,2 of every holiday but only one parent. Kinda funny I get 2 holidays but all I really wanted was 2 parents in a house who love each other instead of using me to get back at one another . Now I know they love me in their own way but I just want to get away really wish I wasn’t born really wish I was dead but this is my life so I just live it instead . Grew up realizing I don’t belong anywhere had to grow fast just get away . Guess you could say I’m blessed so I get to experience an excellent example of what not to do so I can have a healthy family for the future ,but still realizing that my kids won’t understand why grandpa and grandma live in separate houses and have different spouses. Or I can just lie and say that grandma and grandpa are berried and dead so they won’t have to experience the same sad confusion and dread.

I was 11 years old when my parents got a divorce. I'm 34 years old now and I can tell you without a doubt that I have PTSD and I am emotionally damaged from everything my parents put me and my brothers through. I'm going to try to summarize this but basically my parents lost everything in the divorce the lawyers won. We lost our house I lost all my neighborhood friends I had to move to another school I was eventually split from my brothers because my mother was in an abusive relationship with her new partner and since I was the only child willing to defend her my step dad had me removed from the home so he wouldn't get caught. I went to go live with my father who was lonely and became a p*** addict. He eventually married somebody so that he could offset some of his financial losses. I'm surprised that to this day his new wife still hasn't figured out that my father doesn't care about her kids at all. Meanwhile, what did the divorce do to me? Well I was 11 years old when I got to middle school after my parents were divorced I started getting in trouble, I joined a gang, eventually I went to go live with my father and he kicked me out, I was homeless, and I did a little drugs. Before the divorce I was a little boy with pet hamster and a Super Nintendo. I had good grades. Every morning there was food in the fridge and there were little brothers to play with in my house. After the divorce there never was enough food and most of the time it was ramen noodles. It was a horrible experience and I have to say that most of my life I've been very sad so I guess someday my parents will have to figure this question out. What justifies their child being sad for close to half his entire life just so they have good sex.

Children shouldnt hear mommy and daddy fighting, as adults they should speak it in private. Many dysfunctional families today, in whatever cases are inherited from generational or elder family. People grew up insecure of other people because of not having a healthy, whole not broken family. Children that have cheated/cheating parents intend to be more abbusive of alcohol, drugs, addiction, and many rebel acts in the society. Some people grew up with adult body but has insecure, broken inner child.

After some DayZ I just realize that I'm child I have to love both of them bcz when I ask anything to my father sometyms he helps me so I don't need to hate any of them And yesterday me and my mom we argue but I wasn't wrong she was angry and she said , she don't wanna see me again , don't you ever call me yr mother and I cried bcz I have noway to go and wat I said is I want to go to my grandmother . So I go to my aunts house and now , my mothers sisters they are shouting at me blaming me for everything my father did , and I can't sleep , I'm sick I wish I was dead because my life is horrible and I feel like no one loves and I said to my mother I'm sorry for what happened but she said I don't need u anymore Don't talk to me soo , I have got a headache so now I need a job so that I will take care of myself .

People who don't listen to their children after divorce and see their marry someone and better her situation but I agreed that their move was in best interest of our children but know that my child support is current and others need my signature on her estate suddenly they don't ever text or call me or respond to texts or calls. I get no communication where they are so if I text and they are somewhere I don't know about or if people they send around to see what I'm doing illegally that works in my favor. Especially when I never they have been somewhere I am staying.

kids of divorce don't understand. They cannot reconcile the fact that half of them is one parent and the other half is the other parent, and if their parents hate each other they must hate half of them. It is an internal pain that many children of divorce experience for the rest of their lives. The greatest healing for children of divorce is to know God created them, He gave them their soul, their unique DNA, and HE is the one who loves them unconditionally. The parents were merely physical vessels to create their bodies. God infused their bodies with their unique souls and imprinted on them His most gracious love.

Custody cases is also in favour of women's only
