My dad died in May, and my mom and he were very close. They didn't get a divorce (YAY!!!) :) One of my best friend's (Sara) 's mom and dad got a divorce, and she goes to Texas once in a while to visit her dad.. That must be hard.

When my parents first told me that they were getting a divorce I somehow was happy about it because I didn't want all the negativity to back in my life such as thinking about it being because of me or what I was saying to my mom.

I'm really scared because my parents recently got divorced. Me, my 3 sibs, & our mom all moved into a smaller house, so i now have to share a room with the Princess of Brattiness (aka Isabelle Rose)!!! I haven't seen my dad in almost a month because we moved to a different state & he won't even call because he is nervous that my mom would answer the phone. Any advice on how to cope?!?
--Tiffany

My parents have been divorced since before i can remember so it has never affected me, it has just been my way of life. No, however, my mom is getting a second divorce and i'm watching as my sisters are growing before my eyes. They grow in anger, in confusion adn overall they are being forced to growup too fast. I don't like what is happening to them but i understand that the marriage wasn't healthey either and that the divorce is for the best. As for my sisters all i can do is be there for them and allow them to use me as an escape, a breathe of fresh air. I live with my dad but whenever i go down i make sure i take them out and spend time with them letting them know how important they are because i know divorce can sometimes make them feel like u have been put on the back burner.

Hi my name is Tylah and my parents were divored when i was a kid. I didn't know anything about it. I grew up with my parents being divorced since i was a little girl. When my friends tell me their parents just got a divorced or when they tell me they grew up with their parents divorced like me I just tell them don't feel bad because im the same way and i was a little sad at first but now im just enjoying my life with my mom and I still see my dad but i live with my mom. As long as my mom, dad, sisters and family get along im okay with my life.
--Tylah, 11

i cried when i heard that my dad moved out right after i got home from school and i was scared because i dont know if im going to my dad because i dont know where he moved to so i cant contact him.

My mom and dad are fighting a lot and I think they're headed towards a divorce. It's been going on since the beginning of this year. He's a fighter pilot and flies a lot so he doesnt spend much time with us - and he goes and parties more with his friends than hes at home at bars and stuff. If my parents divorce, I'll tear myself apart into and emo wreck. No kidding - I love my family! Sometimes my mom cries when Dad fights with her - its getting really bad to the point where im getting depressed - HELP ME PLEEEASE IML!
