Parents getting divorced...

Yep, i got the "come into the living room, we need to have a talk" session. found out they were getting divorced. I'm 15, Just started my sophomore year, and i have no idea how this is going to affect my life. I feel like total shit right now, even though they said the typical "its not anything you guys did" saying. after they got into the different house thing i just stopped listening/thinking.. does anybody have any advice/experience with this that could help?

 

Same thing happened 4 months ago, just don't even worry about it. You have about 3 years and your out. The only real thing is them hooking up, just hope they get together with soemone with a hot daughter/son . Best wishes to you.

 

It's a pretty big deal. My parents divorced 4-5 years ago. I really don't know if it was my age at that time as i was around 9-10 or what. There's some pluses if you like gifts most parents will wont you not to get less so they will buy you the same amount of gifts for Christmas

Just try and not to think about it to much and if it's really troubling you go to you're school counselor they will talk to you and help you much better than any one on this forum.

Good luck.

 

i honestly cant say much, my sisters mom and my dad got divorced around 19 years ago, and she was fine with traveling an hour, i think people with divorced parents are priveleged, because at least they get to see one of the parents, my mom died 3 years ago and i would give anything to see her again (im 15 too) 9th grade

 

I'm sorry to hear that your parents have decided to divorce; however, you shouldn't let this make you feel despondent. It could have been for the best, some parents are just not compatible. Unfortunately, this is becoming even more frequent and common in the United States and throughout the world.

Personally, I wished throughout my childhood that my parents would divorce since they do not love each other and stay together only for my siblings and me.

 

Since you're older it isn't really going to effect you as much as you think it is. (IMO) You'll have your license soon enough which is your key to freedom. The only thing that will mainly change is the holidays, and where you stay.
Odds are, you'll still see both of them nearly as much; depending if one decides to move etc.

Last thing: "Rebelling" isn't going to do anything to help you. If you don't listen to your parents, when you should; the only thing you're going to do is hurt your relationship with them.

 

There are a variety of levels in which it could effect you. 1st, when your parents get divorced will you have to move, or will one of your parents move? Do you favor a certain parents? These are all questions which must be asked. If you ever need anything pm me.
