How do you, as a kid deal with your Mom and Dad's divorce?

Question

I mean I'm only a kid and it can be pretty hard. Like when my mom cries or I remember how it used to be.

Answer 1

You need to make sure that you are talking to your parents and letting them know how you feel. It's important that you share your feelings and talk about them with your mom/dad. There is nothing wrong with you letting them know your feelings - you are going through a very hard transition and you need help through it.
If you don't feel comfortable talking to your parents, you need to talk to someone - a close family friend or a relative. Just make sure you are getting your feelings out and talking to someone who can help you understand everything thats going on.

Hi there my parents are divorced to I am 17 now and they divorced when I was 7 It was really hard on me having to deal with it. It was so great when my parents where together my life would have been alot different now I think if they would have been together. but now I understand why they divorced so it isn't as hard. I cried and cried many of night praying and praying they would get back together but it never happened. My mom was always there for me when I needed her she really supported me and my lil sis through that hard time. The hardest part was telling my father that i didn't want to live with him because he kept asking me and my sister who we wanted to stay with. It really broke my heart because i wanted to be with both of them. My sister was really what helped me through it I had her and we were going through it together. so it helped alot. It will hurt for a while but finally you just have to accept it. Your parents may not love each other but they will always love you. I hoped this might have helped a little bit i am so sorry about your parents I know what you are going through and how hard it must be for you just email me if you need to talk.

Brace yourself kiddo, you mom and dad's divorce is only the first of many changes in your life as you grow. Just think of it as a normal stage in life. Most people go thru it now as kids, then as adults. I did.

Answer 4

I was real young (6) when my parents separated, and I thought we were playing this elaborate game of hide and seek, cuz my mom moved me and my sister out while my dad was at work. I always imagined him searching the house looking for us when he got home. I remember at one point going to my mother and asking when we were going home, and she said that we were already home, and we weren't going back to his house to live anymore. I also remember going to her and giving her hugs and telling her that I loved her; she said it was always when she was crying, but I don't remember that part.
