my parents split 2 years ago, when i origionally joined this site and its strange looking back at how much has happened in the last 2 years. Our house has only just been sold after much arguing and being on the market for so long. I think i am finally ok with it now and moving on with my own life. I think that this came at the right point of my life. I now see my parents as individual people rather than some omnipresent parental unit and i must say, i get on alot better with them both. They dont really talk to eachother any more and this is still alot of bitterness for my mother, coming from my dad, but i guess thats to be expected. I definately think that this has happened in the best possible way. The divorce was finalised last year and it was upsetting but thinking about it now, i can ot even start to comprihend how weird it would be if they got back together. The both are vry happy with their new partners (altough my mum’s bf is rather annoying, in a “trys too hard” kinda way), and i think ive taken it all in my stride. I can honestly say that im over the divorce so as of nw, i shall consider this task officially completed!!
(Expect me back at some point though!! haha)

my parents are getting a divorce I just found out today and to beat that It is exactly one week before my wedding my dad said he would give me all the details after the wedding what is suppose to be the greatest day of my life is not how can I be happy when I know that life as it knew is getting ready to fall a part and the bad thing is that there is not one thing I can do about it does anyone have any advice on how to cope and enjoy my own wedding ?
it happened last year. they told us on february 10, 2005. hmm..it was definitely bittersweet. i think i’ll just list some pros and cons..
cons
1) parents constantly arguing
2) never know which topics to bring up around either of them
3) have to split up holidays between them
4) have to inform both of them seperately about events in my life.
5) brother taking it pretty hard.
6) have to help brother cope
7) grandparents’ and others’ sympathy is very unwanted/irritating.
pros
1) own garage stall (sad, isn’t it?)
2) only have to deal with one at a time
3) increased annual income
4) two houses, will soon possess key to condo, which will come in handy.
5) if one says no, go to other
6) can blame many things on “parents just got divorced”
yes, many are horrible/superficial reasons. but hey, it’s how i feel, no?
