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.
So I'm 16 and my parents might be getting a divorce because my dad cheated on my mom. How do I cope with this?
My deepest sympathy. I was 15 when my parents seperated. It hurts.I coped by becoming the adult in the family because neither of my parents were being adults. I’m analytical, so thinking about things rationally helped me. I tried to see both sides. Nobody was blameless. Relatives were not helpful as they took sides. I needed and very probably you will need support. Several good friends really helped but my English teacher was amazing. It took a lot for me to ask him for advice. I’m super glad I found the courage, we were very good friends for 40 years until he passed away. He gave me a mature unbiased perspective that I needed and became a sort of surrogate Grand Dad. I date my adulthood from the day my parents starting discussing separation, because this was the day I took responsibility for myself.Good luck, seek support, listen to what your parents say but avoid judging and taking sides. There is really nothing you can do to change things except listening and trying to stay calm. This will help prevent a lot of potential hurt. Be strong!
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 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
Parents getting a divorce in dream?
The dream seems to show that there is some sort of problem with your parents that may not actually be heading for a divorce but might infer that they have been arguing a lot lately and your subconscious has interpreted this to be some sort of dilemma that includes a strange person in your dream. There is a lot going on here and some parts refer to a stranger that may have accosted you at some stage and you didn't tell anyone. There is also some sort of dilemma within yourself that seems to infer that you have trust issues and you don't seem to be able to confide with your friend or your parents.
My parents are getting divorced and I don't care?
My parents have been fighting for years now. My mom has come into my room time and time again to tell me how upset she is and that they are probably getting divorced. It never actually happens though. This time, they both called me into the room to say that they are getting divorced and were going to discuss what they would do tomorrow. It seemed more serious. My dad slept in the guest room. My mom refused to go to work today. When they told me and my sister, my sister got all upset and started crying. I just said okay and walked out of the room. I don't really care if they get divorced. It will probably be good, since they will be happier. Later that night, my dad came down and asked me why I am so heartless. It's like he expected me to cry and he wanted me to be upset about it. I just told him that I don't care if they get divorced because it's what they want and I don't want me to stand in the way of that decision. Is something wrong with me? Should I be more upset? And why would my dad want me to be upset about it?
