My parents just got divorced like right now. They've been in litigation for about a year now.

They don't speak anymore. They fought incessantly.

My mom had a boyfriend while she was still married. My dad says he's done with relationships entirely.

I can't stand my mother. I'd rather I never knew her.

And waffles are pretty cool.

My parents have been divorced since I was about three or four. I still remember lying in bed, awake, while they screamed at each other. I also remember shouting at them right before they divorced to just be quiet and let me sleep. I suppose that was when they realized that their arguing was affecting me negatively and decided to split.

They don't fight any more, thank goodness. Though they don't see eye to eye about everything and now are on very different social classes, (Mom's in an upper class business-owning family, and Dad's self-supporting lower-middle class.) they're still relatively good friends.

My mom's got a guy. My stepdad's pretty stellar. He used to be a chef and owns a local liquor store company. He also has two older daughters. My stepsisters are 27 and 25. The older one is irresponsible and so, we adopted her daughter, my... step-niece as my little sister. My dad had a girlfriend for about a week, but they broke up a little while ago. He's handling it pretty well, actually. I kind of surprised, since when he was actually with her, he was an emotional mess.

I'm fine with all this. It's not like I can really remember much difference in my life, they've been split up for so long. I mean, they live fifteen minutes worth of walking apart and I go back and forth from week to week, so life's not bad. They still argue from time to time, but being apart, they seem to realize that I'm important now, especially as an often moody teenager. xD

And yes. Yes, I love waffles.

My parents are indeed divorced. They seperated when I was... Oh, eleven or twelve, and got divorced a year later, so it's been four years or so since it started unfolding. It bothered me alot, but now the divorce aprt doesn't bother me so much. Life goes on. Only, it REALLY annoys me, having to go back and forth all the time. I have so much stuff, it's such a pain to have to remember my school stuff, my iPod, my clothes, do I need my art things, do I need to bring this book to return it to the library, do I need this and that, endless lists of thigns I need. e_e Also, since my dad was the one who initiated it, I lost most of my respect for him.

They didn't really fight, not at first. My dad was getting mad at my mom for really little things, like npt putting the cap on the toothpaste, or not cooking dinner right, and my mom had no idea why. Then someone finally told her he'd been cheating on her, with the woman who cut my and my sibling's hair, no less. That pissed my mom off. When she told us, the only thing she said afterwards was, "I can't beleive he let her touch you." I won't ever forget how angry she sounded. THEN they started fighting, tried to salvage things, and it fell to peices. My dad moved out, moved back in, quit counseling, moved back out, and they filed for a divorce. They don't really fight any more, though. My mom even comes to Thanksgiving with my dad's relatives. They're about as friendly to each other as divorced people can really be. Though last year or so, I was sitting between them at my sister's chior concert, and they started arguing... That made me really unhappy, I went and sat in the back by myself.

My mom is sort of like... semi-dating this guy that I don't like, but I can tolerate him. He's nice enough, I guess. And he makes tasty food that he shares with us. She's not serious with him though, they like... don't even kiss or anything. XD My dad has dated lots of ladies. He's never stuck with any of them. Dunno why. He doesn't like this or that about them and then he moves on pretty quick. He's never brought them around us, though. I don't really mind my parents dating, so long as they don't try to involve me with whoever they're dating.

I guess I'm okay with the divorce it's self. Not with what my dad did. I don't get along with him very well anymore. None of my close friends have divorced parents, so I feel kind of alone sometimes, but they let me complain about it when I need to. They're good buddies, my friends. <3 Only, I do feel kind of weird because some of them are pretty religious, and see divorce as 'weird', I guess. I mean, once I was talking to a friend of mine, and she was saying, "Don't you think it's a bit strange for people to have been divorced- more than once?" And she tacked that more than once on there really fast and looked guilty, so I just kind of felt odd then. But it was no big deal.

Waffles are stellar, yes.

My parents divorced when I was two. I don't actually get why my mom married him in the first place.

I have always lived with my mom. Until I was about nine or so my "dad" left us alone but then he tried to take me away and claim my mom was an unfit mother. It didn't work though, and eventually he want away got married and left us alone.

My parents got divorced when I was 10, and i'm 20. So they've been divorced for half my life. I found it really inconvenient to have 2 houses because i'd save my homework on a computer at one house, and not know i needed it the next week so i'd have to get whichever parent whose house i left it at to email it to me.
And my dad's house was always full of boxes and stuff while my mom's looked clean and unlived in, so switching back and forth between 2 environments was kinda hard. Especially since i'd usually leave from one parent's house for school and go to the other parent's house after school was done.
When i started college, I didn't mind living in a dorm because it meant i was able to sleep in the same bed every night and have the same room to go back to every day.
My parents never fought, and they are still very civil to eachother, but my dad has pretty bad opinions of my mom just because she's stressed all the time and feels the need to control everything, doing things like calling us 3 times in only a couple minutes.

My mom got married again but then got divorced again, and then got engaged and broke up with the guy. My dad has had the same girlfriend ever since the year after he and my mom got divorced, but there's no way he's going to marry her because there's a lot of basic stuff they don't agree on.

My parents just got divorced a year ago. I'm 17. They spent 25 happy years together. But somethings happened and after they just seemed to drift apart. They never fought ever. Thank god. I cried when they told us there was going to be a divorced I couldn't get it through my head that it was happening. But it's done now and I'm alright. When me and My parents talk about it they saw they married as best friends and divorced as best friends. So they talk all the time. My mom started dating and I'm with it. It's her life she deserves to be happy. But my dad lives on a different island so I don't get to see him a lot. The plus side is I don't have to move house a lot

My parents got divorced, and my Dad lost his parental rights, so I'm happy not to see him. My Mom doesn't date, she acts like all guys are just bastards waiting to happen.

And I love waffles!

My dad left before I was 2. He pretty much never comes to get me even though he gets visitation. The only time I see him is when it's convenient for him. Like last christmas, I was supposed to spend christmas week with him, but him and his girlfriend decided to go to colorado for skiing, so he just bailed on me.

Honestly, I think I hate him. I do know when I get married, he is NOT walking me down the aisle.

My parents have been married for at least 30+ years. Their relationship is a bit bipolar to say the least. My dad comes with a lot of baggage, to say the least. He gets shouty at times but it's not words of abuse really. More like they are arguing over something stupid [in which my dad is wrong 95% of the time anyway]. That, and there are a lot of things he doesn't realize about himself.

But I think they still love each other but whether they are in love with each other is another question all together.

I've contemplated if I think they should get divorced but at this point in their lives, it almost seems pointless unless extenuating circumstances occur. My mom is fairly dependent on my dad making money and my dad is dependent on my mom to organize the finances and make food. I can't picture them getting a divorce.

My parents divorced a year and a half ago.
They never fought, but they weren't in love or anything like that either.
They pretty much just married out of convenience.
Long story short, my dad started coming home later and later, saying that he was "going to the gym."
He was losing weight, so we never though much of it.
Then he stopped coming home all together.
My mom was finally able to get in contact with him two months later.
He said he wanted a divorce.
I haven't seen him since the last night he was actually "home."
I don't speak to him either.
Our family was always pretty detatched, so I guess we all sort of saw it coming.
I live with my mom, obviously, and although things are hard at times between me and her, we survive.
He pays child support (although I'm technically not a child anymore, huh...) and will be paying for the majority of my college tuition.
He'll keep helping to support me and my brother until we turn 23.
My mom doesn't date, I have a feeling she never will.
The whole situation did take a number on my mental health, though.
I fell back in to depression all over again and had to take medication for it.
I'm content now, though.

My parent have been together for over 29 years. Wow. And from how my dad was dealing with her recent heart attack, they will be together until death. I have never seen my dad in such a state of shock. Except maybe, when his mother or father died. they died seperatly, but he was shaken really bad both times.


I have heard and seen some real horror stories about divorce, and often thing of my mothers advice about who to have children with. She told me, "Never has babies with a man you think you will love forever, have babies with the man you know you will be friends with forever." That way if you divorce you wont mess up your children in a nasty fight.

I am taking her advice and married a man I will always be able to be friends with, regardless of if we remain married or not. Really this is some of the best advice my mother has ever given me on relationships. And, as she and my father are still together after so long, I think she is on to something here.

Oh and my mom is fine now, she is just a stubborn bitch ( and yes she would not mind me calling her that) about doctors, and insisted it was just a cold; and really "bad" heartburn.

She had pneumonia in both lungs and was recovering from a heart attack by the time dad got her to go to the e-room.

well they more like separated though they never got married.
but I was 3 at the time, and I still remember the day as it would been yesterday My mum standing in the corridor telling us, "well I move now" while I was sitting on a stool, crying though I thought it would be the last time I would see her.
well they don't fight any more that I know about, a few years ago though they fought all the time, about who how was going to have the custody and a lot about money...
well mum stopped dating about when she stopped fighting with my dad(she found a new man^^) but then one of her X(whom been like a second father to me, and is my childhoods best friends and my little brothers dad) started to fight a lot, and the same story happened again, even though they been fighting before, they never wanted us in it, so now they both tried to get us on each others sides. which was not that fun
well I am now I guess was a bit harder when I still lived with my mum though there was always something that was wrong (stupid alcoholic)
but its all good now, I guess, sure I can be a bit depressed about it some times, but that's more about other things that happened in that epoch of my life.
Waffles *drool*(yes I do like waffles!)
