Im 14 and my parents are divorcing?
Divorce is getting more and more common these days. My parents got divorced when I was 7 and it was really hard. Now my parents are both remarried, which was also really hard. I have 3 sibilings so I understand about the sibiling part. The most important thing you can do is be there for them. When your parents want to talk to you, you need to listen and help. When your sibilings are upset, talk to them and try to cheer them up. I always called my dads girlfriend by her last name. Even now that they are married, I still call her by her first name. It takes a while to get used to it, but you will. It's gonna be really hard for you at first, but over time you willl get over it. After about a year it will be so natural to you that it doesn't make a difference. I don't even think about the fact that my parents are divorced anymore. It will get easier, I promise.
My parents are getting divorced because of me?
Sweetheart, your parents' divorce is not your fault. While issues with the children can definitely be a cause of disagreements between parents, chances are that your parents have been having problems for a very long time, and this latest incident was just the final straw that broke the camel's back. You dad may finally be seeing that his child is in a toxic environment, and now he's taking steps to get you out of it. It's his duty and responsibility as a parent to keep you safe and well, and if your mother isn't also living up to that responsibility, then he has to do what's necessary to protect you. As hard as it seems to believe right now, children are NEVER responsible for their parents' marital problems. The marriage relationship and the parent-child relationship are very different things, related, but still separate. And honestly, if either of your parents tries to foist responsibility of their problems onto you, then it means they would likely have divorced anyway because they are failing to take responsibility for their own actions. That's the kind of thing that can cause any marriage to crumble, if allowed to exist.
If my parents are divorced am i a bastard?
No. A bastard (illegitimate) is a child born out of wedlock, which means your parents were not married at the time you were born. But, if a child is illegitimate and the parents later marry, that child is legitimized and is no longer a bastard.

My parents are getting divorced! Help!!?
You wouldn't be the first by a long shot, hon. You are going to be okay. It takes a while to adjust, but your friends won't think of you any different (and if they do then they weren't real friends anyway). You need to remember that your mom deserves a chance at happiness and falling out of love happens a lot, it doesn't mean she didn't try or that she's just trying to ruin your life. I know it hurts like hell, but, ask your mom if you could go to a counselor, or just go in to school and talk to the school counselor. Those people can be your greatest advocates, BTW. Please don't isolate yourself, talk to your friends, let your little sister know you're just as scared as she is and give her a hug. You'll both need it, just ask your parents to at least be civil with each other. That's the least they can do for you.
I want to get ferrets, but my parents are divorced?
My mom and dad both agreed I could get ferrets and take them to whichever house I am staying at and care for them. This means every other weekend and maybe on a few weekdays going to my moms house, getting the cage, packing everything up, putting my ferrets (I will have two) in a carrier, taking them to my dad's house, and unpacking again. I need to know, is it worth it? Is it too stressful for the ferrets? I know that it will keep me very organized. I know that having ferrets is a family mission, and my whole family would be involved. One last thing... at my dad's house my dad and step mom just had a baby! (She is only two months old) And she is adorable. X-3 As the baby grows up, it will become more playful and everything... I will NEVER keep the baby and ferrets in the same room, and the ferrets I want to adopt lived with a two year old, but still... But that isn't the big problem, I am mostly worried about the first thing. Thanks!
I am 18, my parents might be getting divorced, how to cope up? How to tell my other parent that I want to live with other parent?
Being a child of divorce is hard at any age.You have to be open and honest with your parents about your feelings and desires. It's not up to them where you live at this point as you are a leak adult and can decide for yourself now.Find a support group online or local. Fiend friends who have experienced being a child of divorce. Spend lots of time with each of your parents so you can create relationships with them personally as apposed to them as a couple. Become independent as an adult and know that they don't determine your self worth and value. Realize their divorce has nothing to do with you and don't get involved or take sides. Learn from their mistakes to try in your own life to avoid the same situation.ittakesasaviortoraiseachild.wordpress.com
