What should u do when yur parents divorce?

Question

im 14 and my parents are divorcing after 24 years of marraige wwhat should i do

Answer 1

Accept it(:

Answer 2

I was 14 when my parents divorced and they were married 22 years at that stage..

The only thing you can do is treat them the same..

DO NOT get stuck in the middle of any disagreements they have it only makes your relationships with them harder..

If you have to sit them down and talk to them both about sorting out their own problems and leave you out of it..

Do not use it as an excuse to go wild or do anything you normally wouldnt do..

Im just speaking from experience it's different in everyone's situation.

But keep your head up and try your best not to let it get to you..

Answer 3

Tell your parents that you want to live 50% of the time with each of them!!!!

They must live within the same school district.

Remember that they are divorcing each other and not you.

It does not matter what excuse they are using for the divorce, it is not your problem.

You will not tolerate a bf or gf of theirs having a sleep over while you are in the house.

You have to remember they are being a couple of selfish people that are looking out for their own interest and not yours.

Answer 4

Respect their decision. It's going to be so hard for a long time getting used to the fact their not together. My parents divorced when I was 5. I hated going back and forth between them from week to week. I always blamed myself and you know what it's wasn't me and it's not you either!! So please don't blame yourself at all. I'm sure it will feel like you are in the middle sometimes if they talk about eachother which I hope they don't but if it happens standup and say look I don't wanna hear the smack talk. My parents did that and I put a stop to it. I still hear it from time to time and I'm 24. I still say OK shush your mouth now thanks for sharing but not really haha. If you feel you need someone to talk to don't hesitate at school to talk to a counseler. They help too.

Answer 5

There's not much you can do about it babe; I'm sure they will have thought about it a great deal before coming to the decision.
I know it's a long time and must be a real shock to you.
Still, I am sure that both of them love you dearly.
If you ever find it too hard to cope with, make sure to let them know and tell your your teacher, as it's important for them to know that some days, you won't be at the top of your form.
Good luck darling.xxx

Answer 6

Whatever you do...don't blame yourself. Sometimes things don't work out. And the kids are put in the middle of it, but I know neither of them love you any less...they just can't live together anymore. Try talking about it to both of them one on one...don't bottle up anything and be honest with yourself. You will be ok. Find something good in all of this...like now you will be able to have quality time with both of them. Don't choose sides either...they are probably just as sad and confused as you are and every one will need time to heal and adjust. If you have siblings...talk to them to. Especially if you have younger ones..those are the ones that will look at you for guidance. Be happy...be loved...and be love!

Answer 7

Hang in there. I'm divorced, but my 18 year old son and 13 year old daughter are doing fine, they are always on my mind and in my prayers. Good luck to you.
