My dad is just being the biggest fucking asshole ever right now. First he got pissed off, because my mom didn't do something in the garden when she was supposed too, but he never specified when she should. And this morning I'm woken up to them screaming, him calling her manipulative and yelling that her kids only get along with her because she scares us (entirely untrue) he then stormed out of the house, not even bothering to take a car, just angrily walking down the road. My actually [B]went to go find him[/B]. (And yes she found, and yes, she brought him back) That pissed me off. I want the fucker gone, he was mean to my mom, and nobody fucking gets away with that. If I wouldn't go to juvie for bludgeoning and abusive behavior, I would contemplate beating his head in with a baseball bat.
What should I do facepunch? This is distressing. :frown:
It's all your fault, you made them do it.
I remember my parents divorced. I was young and I had to be explained why they were splitting up. I couldn't understand at first and all I wanted was them to stay together again. I couldn't concentrate in school and I cried a lot.
:frown:
Talk to your mom about it.
Yes, my parents are in the process of a divorce. It hurts. :crying:

What do you mean by 'talk to her'?
Like, comfort her or what?
I'm [B]hoping[/B] they get divorced. They've been separated, and both lived a lot better lifes when they were. Everyone did, really.
My parents split when I was like 5, and I'm definitely more fucked up because of the fact.
Also, OP, it's all your fault.
My parents are divorced. Nothing you can do about it, just have to live life to the fullest.
My parents split up when I was 9 or 10. It didn't really make much impact on me at all which has always sort of worried me
I've never really been able to show my emotions at all and I just sort of took it in my stride
-Snip didn't really read OP.
My parents are divorced, I didn't or don't really care because I have my own life to experience. Stay positive.
My parents got a divorce 4 ish years ago. I was in 9th grade at the time.
Anyways, My dad was being an asshole during the whole divorce, claiming anything he ever told my mom that was positive was a lie because he wanted to make her happy.
and then 2 months after the divorce he brought his girlfriend that he had been cheating on my mom with to live with him.
Then he brought her two kids over.
Now they have this happy life while I work to help pay the bills my mom has trouble paying over at my house...
My dads a dick. But hey, my mom is happier now to be away from him. Just remember its not your fault and your parents will be happier seperated.
My parents divorced when I was 12. I live with my mom and my sister who is past 18 and I have to say I have more freedom now without my dad.

My mind is passed the "easily impressionable" part of life I think. I'm 14, and besides being worried that he'd end up hitting my mom, I'm not scared at all.
If he hits my mom though, shit's gonna go down. I'm serious about that too.

And it won't really grant me any more freedom if they get divorced, my dad is gone out of the country for 6 months out of the year due to his job. The only good thing I can see about him right now is that he brings in a pretty good paycheck.
OP is overreacting.
It's just a fight, people fight from time to time, it doesn't mean they're gonna get a divorce.
had it happen when i was 6 and it's made life a bitch
assuming you're 12+ years old, you'll be fine.
edit
you're 14, you'll be fine.
My parents divorced when I was 2, so I don't remember the divorce itself. It's really not that bad, you just have to switch houses every other week. Plus, you get 2 birthdays/Christmases.
Though, you should feel lucky. Your parents will most likely calm down and keep in contact after the divorce. My parents still hate each other, 12 years afterwards. They can't even speak on the phone, so I have to be the messenger.

Yeah, except I've seen them fight before. He's [B]never[/B] actually walked out of the house. I don't think my mom is just gonna get over this, and neither will I.

You should just call the police, really don't try to do anything on your own. If he now gets so angry that he hits your mom, nothing is hindering him from attacking you, especially if you provoke him.
You are just 14, and if I am correct 14 year olds are still growing kids, your dad can probably just throw you off if you do something. Unless you are really buff of course ;)
I wish I could tell you it will all be easy and not that bad, but really it is hell. I had to see a counselor for three years and I became very emo/depressed for a good five or six years. My case was the worst case scenario for a divorce, so you will not have as many issues, but it still sucks.
On the bright side your mom will get custody of you, I guarantee it, so the drama of joint custody will be non existent. Your parents will be really sad for a long time, and it will hurt to see them like that. Just tough it out. There isn't a whole lot you can do.
Your asking a community of around 20-40k teens if they have ever had their parents divorce?
I mean seriously some of them have to at least gotten close.
my parents divorced when i was like 7 or 8. they got back together a few years after that tho
My parents are divorced... It was when i was 9... Kinda hard, more so, when you have a couple of siblings to look after. Took alot out of me, and scared me mentaly for years to come. But atleast i learned to be positive! For example: 2X birthday presents! Yeah i know, it sounds horrible to think like that, but trust me, it will help you. Also, your parents may get divorced, but that dosent mean they can't be freinds, sure it will take some time but still. That's what happend here. And besides, my step mom is the nicest person on the planet, always so happy and caring.
It will work out bro. One way or another.
2 years ago, my mom left dad, I was kinda 'k.'
Found out you could get a 25/25Mbit at my mom's place, and so I left.
Now my dad's horribly depressed cause he things everyone left him, and he came home from the hospital a few days ago. :frown:

I hate to sound like a sadistic, crazed child right now, but fist-fighting wasn't exactly what I had in mind. Calling the police sounds like a better idea though.

Lucky, I don't get 2 christmases/birthdays, mainly because my dad, who is an asshat finds it fun to say the completely wrong things about me. Then he tries to speak to me through facebook thinking that I've forgotten the past 4 years. Being woken up by a psycho trying to break down the door at 2 o'clock in the morning just says it all about him.
My parents are divorced and I couldn't give two fucks. I like them both equally.

You're going to kill him for hitting your mom? C'mon on now. That will fuck up all three of your lives.
My parents divorced when I was 7. At first I didn't wanted to work at school for a year.
Now I don't give a fuck.
I hope my family doesn't call off the get together that we're supposed to have tomorrow, I want the rest of the adults in my family to talk some sense in this fucker. And by that, I mean get him out of the house.
