[QUOTE=java58;22268544]if my parents broke up, I would just leave and never speak to any one of them again. End of story.[/QUOTE]
Foolish.
Mine are just about to. Actually they almost did it once, me and my brother prevented it from happening :unsmith:
It took my parents about five years to get divorced with all the custody stuff that happened, then once it got sorted out my mom kicked me out and I live with my dad now.
You will appreciate it down the road, trust me <3
My father left when I was a year or two old. My parents didn't [I]officially[/I] divorce until I was 8 or 9, but at that point I didn't really know the difference since I was used to my father living across the country from me.
Of course, I started to care when my father entered "be-a-dick" mode and threatened to pursue legal actions if I didn't go out to see him for some 6 weeks every summer. I have never spent a summer with my friends. :smith:
My parents fight all the time. It's usual.
If yours' have been married 33 years, they're not breaking up any-time soon.

What the hell kind of legal action can someone take over that?
A few years ago (when I was like, 10?) my parents got into a huge fight. Plates were thrown, sharp ceramic was scattered all over the floor. I took it as a sign as though they didn't bother about our safety. I was studying at the time, and then my father started to throw at and hit my mother with whatever he could pick up. When he started dragging me into the confrontation, I picked up a mop, went to his room (he was still attacking my mother) and started to hit him over and over again until he stopped.
Eventually he attacked me when I was alone, but yeah, you kind of get the point. That was a few years ago and I guess he's changed. I wish you well OP, this is likely a one-time thing and I think your parents won't be so likely to divorce like that.
My parents Argue a lot. I really don't like it because the arguements are all started by my mom. She is the one who keeps saying things to me like, "your father hates me"
Don't ever talk shit about your dad OP. Mine is an airline pilot who encountered a fatal error in his airplane by pure luck. If your dad disappears just remember this. What is the last thing you said to them? If anything, make those last words count.

I don't really know for certain, to be honest. Apparently when they divorced my father wanted there to be some requirement that he could request I visit him for however long each year. I assume that by not following said request I'd be breaking that contract. Is there such thing as a divorcement contract?
I kinda wish that had happened when I was older, nobody told me anything back when I was 8. :psyduck:
My parents have been married for 16 years now and still going strong. They might have arguments sometimes but they love each other a lot. I'm just glad I have one of those parents that hasn't been split up. I hope your parents work it out, OP.
My parents divorced early, then my mom met a new guy who we lived with for 8 years and then they moved apart. It really sucks to go through it twice. :frown:
Mine did, there was a lot of shouting involved, quite a few tableware shattered and then my mom moved out, I went along. Although we live separately now my dad is still cool as hell and we go to the gym and all kinds of shows together.
They still contact each other every now and then and they aren't pissed off anymore. They divorced something like 10 years ago, I was still something around 10.

Dude, I don't think the law can force a child to see a parent if he/she doesn't want to. Unless you signed the paper, you're not breaking any contract. Ask him to show you such paper.
Rather violent are we. Ask you dad if there's anything wrong, if he needs help or something. Better a dad than no dad.
My parents have been divorced for like, 5 years. It doesn't bother me a bit.
My parents are in the process of divorcing it kinda sucks cause now I have to decide who to live with and shit..
[editline]10:23AM[/editline]
I don't even know why either, they won't tell me... oh well..
My dad has been acting funny these days too, and my mum doesn't seem too happy with him. I know what you mean, although I'm probably a week or two behind you.
trust me, it's a lot better afterwards
My mom is moving (not divorcing, not married) and I'm just happy about it. Why you might ask? Because where we move they have 100 mbit/s internet, and it's not like I wont see my dad anymore.
Mine got divorced the year I was born.
So, basicly people in this thread think their parent's should stay together because they want them to, rather than divorcing and living better lives? Does that not seem a bit selfish?
Man there's so many divorces, much more than I thought. My parents got married at 19, and 30 years on they're still together.

One little fight isn't reason enough to call the whole thing off, not after 3 decades.
My parents have been married for many years but sometimes they've been close to divorce, especially at one time. Also my dad nearly was widowed last summer as my mother got somekind of 'intracranial hemorrhage' disease or bleeding when she was at work. She survived it, though which is very uncommon.
[QUOTE=MrHeadHopper;22235946]My parents splitted up at age 4 or so.I was sleepin' in my room with my bro and we woke up to an old chair fucking up in the ground,and to my mom screaming "I DON'T WANNA HAVE SEX!" or something like that.We stayed inthat house,but our father had left.Shortly,we moved in to Buenos Aires,our father's house because we didn't have any money.Our father went really angry on our mother and sister being extremely fucking pessimist (not letting my dad take a walk with me) so much that my father threatened our mother with a knife.Exact same thing I would do at the moment.I really liked my dad.My mom beated me up if I didn't do what she wanted.We moved in to my grandmothers house for 3 months,it was an hell fucking hole there,robbers everywhere and my cousin Alejandro,being incredibly fucking annoying.And then I moved to my fathers house.We are pretty cool here.I'm quite sad of not being able to hug my mom everyday,but we see eachother sometimes.

My father is the bestttt.I'm quite annoying with him sometimes,but he still loves me.My mom,is really angry against me for going with my dad.Bitchy mom.
[editline]04:41PM[/editline]
She beated me up everyday,too.I hated her so much that one day I went up to her and yelled out loud "I HATE YOU!".She beated me like if I was an fucking World War 2 german prisoner in a fucking bunker full of buffed up Gears Of War soldiers.

and you didn't have her arrested for child abuse because...?
my parents are getting divorced, but i hate them both so it really has no effect on me. the only thing im worried about is my asshole of a dad using our (me and my brother's) tuition money to pay the fuckn lawyers.
OP, if your dad isnt treating your mom right, make sure he doesnt get away with it. either call the cops if he does anything wrong, or instigate divorce, you wont have to really worry about the paycheck, because he has to give half of it (at least, in most states he would) to the spouse.
My parents never did divorce. They later told me that it was because I was there, keeping them together. It made me feel really loved. :gbsmith:
I was kinda young when my parents did so I don't really remember it. My Step dad is awesome though, he and my mum are happy and I've never seen them argue the 10 or so years they've been married.
OP it might make you feel like crap for a while, but your parents might be better off apart if they argue or whatever.
My parents have been separated since I was 6 months old. I never knew them together, but I did know them to fight a lot over me. It gets old after awhile, but you really get used to it. Unfortunately a lot of marriages end in Divorce nowadays
2 Christmases though
[QUOTE=lorden;22237511]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:[/QUOTE]
Oh fuck you never told me that last part, Lorden :ohdear:. I hope you find a way to get that surgery.
Anyway, my parents are divorced. My dad 67, my mom is 62, and they've been happily married for 34 years. They fight sometimes, and my dad was a bit authoritarian(he was an MP in the army for 3 years), but they held together. They have talked about divorce when I was in my teen years, but they decided to stay together for my brother and I, but love each other now as much as when they first met.
[QUOTE=Big Ben;22235271]What do you mean by 'talk to her'?
Like, comfort her or what?[/QUOTE]
'Talk to her' is code for 'insert penis into vaginal cavity'
