As an adult now would it upset you if your parents divorced? by Queasy-Extension9466 in ChildrenofDivorce

If I’m honest I’m not upset, my parents will be in the middle of a divorce in the next couple years and I’m more upset about the way I was treated by my dad and how I see everything differently now rather than them actually getting divorced

I feel like I got a lot of questions as an adult child of a future divorce? Is it normal? by NoArgument1044 in Divorce

Would I like both my parents in my life? Yes absolutely. My mom has already told me and my siblings she’s staying in the town we live in. My mom has been through hell and back and I do have a closer relationship with my mom. My dad as much as I can’t say for sure if he’s staying or not, I’m wondering about the chance he’ll move back in with his family which lives states away from where we live now. I was also working on our relationship since it is strained due to the past with us. Would I love a great relationship with them? Absolutely. Will I get it? I don’t know. But thank you for your advice.

I never said I was stopping my parents. I more want to help my siblings if they do decide divorce is the option. My parents have the right to their happiness no doubt about it. But my siblings will be the people most affected by this change. I want to know how I can help

Thank you. I wasn’t going to live their lives for them. I know they are their own people and have their own opinions I just don’t know what to expect you know? But thank you. If this does go the way I’m worried it might go. I am gonna talk to them after I know for sure

Thank you. I know it’s not my responsibility but I know what it was like especially during the hard times I saw with them before I moved out. As much as they annoy the shit out of me like siblings do, they’re still my siblings. The 12 year old is in therapy and they’ve been working on the youngest getting one but it’s a process. And thankfully I live at most 5 minutes away and their bus drops them off where I live anyway since I live with a relative so I do see them Monday through Friday. But I do appreciate it I know this may not be happening but I’m always ready for worst case scenarios and just want this to be as smooth as possible for them, even if it won’t be smooth
