Well that happened to me and at the time it was the best thing for them to do--cause my mom was doing him wrong and they were not compatible. So, I knew it was right. But at the same time--a lot of things changed b/c my mom lied to me about my dad and kept me away from him. I soon realized she was out for money and just crazy altogether. I hate her for what she did to me--not just about the divorce though. One thing that did change was that when they did divorce--I went from having anything I rationally needed and wanted to barely having clothes to wear. It was depressing and so much other stuff happened that I will not mention. But I feel different now that I am older. It really does affect you when you get older--moreso than you would ever think. I had people tell me this--that it would really hit me as an adult and at the time I thought those people did not understand and just had their own issues. But that did turn out to be true. I had major emotional problems and I think that did have a hand in it. Plus I realize more things looking back now and I realize the most important, critical impact it had on my life was my low self confidence and my choices in relationships. I wish that my mom or dad would have taken me to counseling when that happened because I really do not think that a person even knows the extent of the damage on their own because they are in suck a state of mind that pushes those thoughts away and those are not dealt with in a healthy manner.

I know how you must feel...my parents divorced after 33 years. The signs were there for a long time. Their relationship was tumultuous, they had frequent arguments and when I was a kid...I sometimes wished they would get a divorce so the arguing would stop and they were not angry all the time. Sometimes it's best .....if everyone in the family is suffering the ill effects of a dysfunctional relationship. Think about it were there problems? Try to remember, it's not about you..it's about them.

How would I feel isn't the question. Baby-boo I've been through it already and it was easy. My mom and pops were everything to me and without the two it was like what am i going to accomplished without the support of the two. My parents got divorce and I tell you no lie, I was outta control I started not to have feelings I became One Heartless Kid and still am up to this day. Baby-boo it is hard and if your parents do plan or u feel they are getting a divorce take it from me "Don't loose ya mind" because you may end up like me and I'm 18 years of age feeling this way. We are females and need a male (father) in our lives not just one but both for us to be happy and feel like I've got the perfect family. Think about it gir (good luck)

You will probably feel hurt, disappointed and afraid of what the future will bring. Change, of any kind, is difficult. Know that they will both need your support and understanding. This isn't an easy time for them either. They will still be there to support you, and you will adjust, in time. Being divorced and happy is better than staying in a marriage that just isn't working.

This happened to my parents. It felt awful (what do you expect), also knowing that mom waited for me to turn 13 to do it so I'd be nice and depressed in time for high school. She literally hated my father for half a decade before the divorce. But I feel it's better than them divorcing when I was a toddler.

Well it happened to me. My parents divorced after being married for 18 yrs. I was 17 at the time. I was very happy, because my father didn't deserve my mom. He made her feel bad and awful. It was a long time coming.

My parents were together for 21 years! And when i turned 14 they got a divorce! I am really happy now because my dad would do stupid things that i really shouldnt talk about to my mother and now he is in jail and i dont ever go see him or anything cause he is still STUPID!! So in a situation like mine you should be VERY happy!

I would feel sad, but you have to realize that not all people belong together even if they have children. Sometimes it is better to split up if you are unhappy than to stay together and be happy. Just be happy that you have two parents that love you and it will all work out. It will take some time to get used to but you will be fine.

It would be really hard to deal with but in the long run it was better for them. As for you, it will take a while to get over the idea of them being together forever.
