Divorce

[Randy]

Have you ever been divorced? Your parents? Someone you know?

Was it ugly? Who got what?

 

[beowulf]

yup....not a nice experience.....dont want to go further than that

Marriage is probably the chief cause of divorce.

My mother and father got divorced, it was alright :-/

But I have seen some messy divorces >_<

 

[Cranos]

Err, only parents of friends and they were already divorced before I knew them. Divorces aren't that ugly here though.

My mom and dad were married but then separated and hardly spoke to each other for the rest of their lives (well my dad is alive). They were still legally married the whole time though.



Me and my daughter's mom never legally married but we lived together for like 3 years and were practically a married couple. So it was almost like a divorce except she didnt get half my stuff.

I've had uncles divorce, but nobody who is really close to me. However, I have seen divorce work in both good and bad ways, generally in bad ways though. It can tear a family apart, and children almost always are caught in the crossfire, if there are children

My parents are in the process of divorce, after 22 years. My Dad up and decided that he didn't want to be married, so he just left.



My Mom's depressed... she didn't eat for the first three weeks, and didn't start eating regular until a few months ago (he left eight months ago).

Thats life for ya.. Your mom will snap out of it and your dad will still be involved with your life.. Hopefully your dad wont be like mine and move half way across the country & not contact/see you for 10 years.

My Mum and Dad are divorced, happened when i was younger so i didn't really take much notice at the time. Haven't seen him for about 6 or 7 years now.

My Dad wasn't really involved in my life when I lived at home.



I hear from him a little, I get a text every two weeks, and we go out for dinner about once a month...

 

[Nebulous]

Well hey.. at least that is some sort of effort.



Better him disappearing for several years like with me and Beluga. My dad only lives 100 miles away now and still never comes to see me. I have to make the effort and drive down to see him. When I do visit its awkward, like I am visiting with a stranger. Plus he can't even sober up (he drinks) when his son and granddaughter come for a visit. *sigh*

My parents. Not the greatest. My dad was more concerned with his other family of the time. I think back on it, it was probably for the best they got divorced. My dad, when he was around, was a dick back then.

 

[Nebulous]

was a dick back then.

Is he nice now?

 

[Crys]

Is he nice now?

He's okay. I don't know, sometimes I feel like I don't really know him.

 

[Nebulous]

He's okay. I don't know, sometimes I feel like I don't really know him.

Feel the same exact way towards my dad.

My parents are divorced multiple times with different people. Dad has been with my step mom for quite some time, though, so this is his longest marriage. Mom is still single after her second divorce in 2014. They were pretty messy and my siblings and I suffered from it.
