[QUOTE=Big Ben;22237161]Yeah, except he basically said that the last 33 years of his life/their marriage had been a waste.[/QUOTE] Dude, if they aren't happy together, then let them split up. It's selfish to make your parents stay together if they just don't love each other anymore. Let them go off and find someone they actually do love, it's for the better. Let them spend their lives happy, albeit it's not with your biological mother or father. I've come to accept it, and I know it's going to be hard, but, we're all human. Don't hate them for it.
OP seriously. how old are you? please tell us because different ages view things differently.

[QUOTE=Big Ben;22237161]Yeah, except he basically said that the last 33 years of his life/their marriage had been a waste.[/QUOTE] He probably didn't mean it, and only said it because he was angry. I know dad says stuff like that when he's mad. I think the whole 'baseball bat to head' idea is a little bit of an overreaction here. [QUOTE=Big Ben;22237199]They're already [B]fucked up and depressed right now[/B], my dad being the reason, all because he didn't tell my mom he wanted the fucking tomato plants tied up. If he got this mad over that, he doesn't need to be in this family any longer. [editline]ig[/editline] And right now he may be abusive, I'm not gonna try to talk to the bastard.[/QUOTE] My dad gets mad at me for shit like that too, but I don't think he should leave the family. Talk to him anyway, if he's abusive just call the police.
I think you're probably over reacting. My dad can get really angry at times and begin screaming and shouting with my mum and he's stormed out a couple of times. He always comes back though and apologises. I wouldn't worry about it OP.
Mine have been divorced for about 3 years now. It's not fun bro :frown: and it's worse when it's actually your fault. :sigh:
[QUOTE=Mr_Sun;22237253]OP seriously. how old are you? please tell us because different ages view things differently.[/QUOTE] I'm 14. My other siblings ranging from 18 to 31 all agree with me. Maybe it's just because we love our mom more, and the fact that my dad has only been around for exactly half of our lives due to his job doesn't help any.
My parents separated peacefully in 1999. I'm quite happy over that it was a peaceful divorce, they are still friends. Makes everything easier.
[QUOTE=Big Ben;22237316]18 to [B]31[/B][/QUOTE] wat also [media]http://youtube.com/watch?v=FUQT5K5zi_I[/media][U][/U][URL="http://youtube.com/watch?v=FUQT5K5zi_I"][/URL]
I remember mine. Yelling, screaming, some fighting, throwing and breaking of objects. Not a fun time. Then for awhile afterwards I lived without seeing my dad, but eventually I got back to him. Now I get to see them both.
Ok fuck what I said last post OP, your gonna have to deal with it. Like me, like my older bro, and like my little bro. Let them deal with each other. If things out of hand, go to a friends house like someone said earlier. And be sensible, violence is not gonna solve [B]anything[/B], so no baseball bat.

The girls panties dude had his parents divorced, my parents aren't divorced but they live in seperate cities because of jobs.
[QUOTE=Zeraxify;22235513]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. [/QUOTE] I don't think you meant it like this, but, this makes you sound like a materialistic asshole who doesn't give a fuck how your parents feel.
[QUOTE=Skelmech;22237454]I don't think you meant it like this, but, this makes you sound like a materialistic asshole who doesn't give a fuck how your parents feel.[/QUOTE] This. Yes I get 2 christmas. But I want it to spend with [B]both [/B]parents and i can't, whch sucks ass.
My father used to mentally abuse me and my mother, he would get furious if I mentioned anything mundane to him or expressed myself around him. When my pet cat died when I was 6 and I started crying in my father's arms, he let go of me and let me fall onto the ground and told me that I was being absurd and stupid for crying over a cat. When I got an A+ on a difficult quiz and acted excited, he told me to shut up and that it was no big deal. It was terrible, I had to act like nothing mattered to me when I was around him, because if I expressed any kind of feeling towards something he'd just scoff at me and tell me how he doesn't care or my pride was stupid. I'm glad they divorced. :frown: [B]EDIT:[/B] The worst part was, since he never actually physically abused me or my mother, when we got legal help he said that it'd be next to impossible to charge him with anything, since you can't really show evidence of emotional abuse. He uses the child support to force my mother to make me visit him even though I hate him, because he can get backlogged in child support for several months before we can get a judge to force him to pay us. My mother's unemployed and she has severe medical issues that prevent her from getting a proper job. I need sinus surgery badly but when my mother told my father that she needs money for my surgery he just told her to fuck off. :sigh:
My mom is still handing on to my dad. I don't think either could handle the dramatic differences of being alone again. But there is no day my dad doesn't insult my mom. And it takes little to piss my dad off. I don't think it will ever happen. I don't hate my dad, but i just don't understand why my mom didn't divorce years ago. Needless to say i help my mom out when i can. My dad feels abandoned by us and wonders how it happened. [editline]08:01PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Triumph Forks;22237031]My parents have been apart for about 11-12 years now. Last thing I said to dad before it happened was when I walked in on my mom crying in the bathroom after a fight, and I ran to him and told him he made mommy cry and he should go away. :frown:[/QUOTE] Oh fuuuu. That makes me get watery eyes.
My parents are practical divorced, my dad is always gone on the weekdays and comes home on every other weekend
My dad is dead. :buddy:
[QUOTE=IamTehKings;22237555]My parents are practical divorced, my dad is always gone on the weekdays and comes home on every other weekend[/QUOTE] ....
No my parents decided to live an unhappy married life as apose to making me and my sister have to deal with it. I also think my mum would feel guilty for divorcing a crippled who she once loved and who is dependant on her financially.
[QUOTE=Big Ben;22235191]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:[/QUOTE] My parents have done this ever since I could remember. I'm 18 now and they haven't divorced yet. Well, except for going to look for my dad. My mom doesn't do that.
My parents have fights like that daily, and they haven't divorced. My dad's the biggest asshole you could ever meet. Do you even know how big a divorce is? What are you, 12? Stop talking out of anger.
at least you had a dad op
[QUOTE=thisispain;22238025]at least you had a dad op[/QUOTE] how were you conceived
My parents are getting a divorce and I could care less.
[QUOTE=sonicrjk;22238039]how were you conceived[/QUOTE] lol my dad bailed on me i mean
[QUOTE=thisispain;22238187]lol my dad bailed on me i mean[/QUOTE] your lifes not THAT bad, you have gold member
My parents had a nasty divorce and this is what I learned from it. Don't try and "take a side" or determine who is "right" or "wrong" because as much as you think you know about their relationship, there is a lot about the relationship you don't know or understand. It's best not to discuss "bad things" about one parent with the other or vice versa, let them keep their shit between each other and don't get dragged into it. Your parents may work it out or they may not. You have to remain emotionally strong in either case. Don't let the divorce effect your school work or behavior in a negative way. Always keep in mind that in the grand scheme of things, your parents are doing what they are doing to end up happier.
