Discussion Divorced parents anyone?

[eternalflame]

So what is your situation? What impact do you think it has had on you? Me personally it has made me feel unwanted and i think my parents wasted part of their life by having me. Also i think they should have never been together or have children to begin with.

In my parents all my life I hoped they woluld get divorced because they were both so abusive at least that way I could be away from one of them, plus they blamed me for everything, including all the pain in their marriage, even though this made no sense.

Wow, that's very sad to hear, escpecially they have blamed you. My parents divorced when i was around 4-5 years old so i don't have many memories of them fighting.
Thanks for all replies.

Oh my parents definitely should not have had children. My mom could have been an okay parent if she'd had the right partner? It's hard to say for sure. My parents separated when I was about a year old, so it was always normal to me. I'm grateful they're divorced though because it means there was less of my dad who. Really should not have had kids. At all. I cannot envision a scenario where he would be a good father.

My parents divorced when I was about 9. It meant growing up in a very tense situation. I can't remember they were ever happy together. My dad is an angry person, not a good situation. The divorce was definitely a good thing but things didn't improve much. My mom had a hard time trying to make a living and taking care of a couple of kids on her own. Things continued to be difficult. Just in a different way. All of this influenced who I am today, it's not just the divorce. The divorce in itself was a good thing.
