The above answers have had a lot to do with how I deal with my children, especially after my divorce from their dad. I will not speak ill of him around my children and will not allow anyone else to either. I do not put my children in the middle, the split was not their fault and I don't want them to bear that feeling.

Divorced after 12 years, I was 7 ys old, mother got custody.
three brothers, one older, two younger.
I have a Masters Degree in Law Enforcement
I used alcohol from 14 to 19, weed on occassion
Yes, I used to stay out late or all night with other girls.
I changed my life with Upward Bound in High school 17 yrs old
No, mother too permissive, father too hard on us
Yes, when ever Dad picked us up she would ask questions.
Yes, parents fought in front of us
Yes, they spoke negative (yet my mother still loved him and would admit it to us)
Yes, we were asked to keep secrets from our mother
Yes, our father would allow more than our mother after the divorce for acceptance.
no one ever attended school functions, we stopped participating
Yes, adult problems were a constant with my mother and we were too young to understand her ranting and raving
We saw our father when he stopped by about 2-3times a year.
Yes, forced to take sides when they were not getting along
Yes, my mother blames my father for financial problems since he was 25 yrs older than her and retired early.
Yes, I always felt like the mediator to everyone around me
No real religion. But in one town we lived in my mother had me go to the little community church at the corner, from 7-11 yrs old.
She was raised catholic but left the church since she was rebelling with her mother.
Divorce can ruin a childs life. It started to ruin mine as I was going down the wrong path. Then something can come into your life like a light and turn you around. It can be a different thing for anyone, but for me it was Upward Bound Program (college program for underprivleged). A cop who teaches at the local college came to talk to us. I said that is what I wanted to do. I persued it to a passion and got my BS. Then later turned to counseling youth. I been there and can relate to what kids go through. Divorce is hard on any child.
