Tell Us: Are you stronger? More fragile? How has your families divorce affected you?
My parents were divorced when I was very young, and I never remember seeing them together. Now when I do my mother is always frustrated with my father. I know she likes him, but she will never be fully happy with him. It has taught me alot about my relationship. it was taught me to never cheat, always be understanding, loyal, honest, and truthful as well as trustworthy. my bf and i have a great relationship b/c we both haven been through things in our life with our parents that have made us who we are. we are very close and always know what is best and what isnt best for us.
yes because i'm 14 and my parents divorced wheni was in 5th grade. but know i dont want to get married because i don't want to deal with another persons crap beacuse you know what they say...you usually marry someone like your father !
My parents got a divorce when I was just getting ready to turn 21, I'm 22 going on 23, but, as I am moving out of my moms, and into my own place, I would really like both my mom and dad there to support me. I know that asking my mom to try and be "OK" with my dad around wont happen, it just hurts me a lot. I love my mom and I love my dad its just difficult.
Yes it affected me, my father sent mom away and she did not have any source of income. I imagined that I could help her but I was a baby. At present I help her to stay in a rented house. This has caused me to sympathise with all women even the ones who are better than I am, I am not certain whether it is that I love all of them or I just pity them. I always feel like men are not fair to women, this has caused me not to bargain with a female friend even if I dislike what she is suggesting. I have tried to strike a balance but I am un able. When I was 15 years old I was beaten by a small girl untill I cried because my senses could not respond to restrain her only because she is female. I watch tyra show everyday over the TV, During one of her shows she pointed out that she is single and never intent to have a baby, This struck my heart and I cried for an hour for her, I never help to shed tears when Tyra appears on the TV because I know that it is men who have discouraged such a beatiful girl like tyra to hate blessing the world with her rich genes through bearing a child. I tried reaching Tyra to beg her to get a baby and trust me to care for the child and give her back whe he is grown but could not reach her.
My mother was abused becuase of my Dad. He was a alcoholic and always drank. I was about nine years of age when they got married and a few years later i was the age of 12, they got a divorce. I loved my dad with all my heart. And I was the best daughter he ever had. Sometimes I wish he was still in my life. But after they got a divorce since my child hood was horrible (no food, clothes or baby things) My mother and I struggled. But this divoce messed up my head and I didnt do well in school, I still have not graduated, and i am 19 yrs old. All I need is to pass to tests, but its been pretty hard, I still cry for him almost every day. My mom has been married twice since the divorce but she always finds someone else I don't like. Unless it was one on my last step fathers. But this has pretty much made me a stronger more effectionate person. And my personality is worthwile! : D
i'm only 17 and my parents got divorced when i was 14. i know im not an adult but it really had a big affect on me. first of all i got really depressed, and that made me gain alot of weight. probably 40 lbs in the last 3 years. it also caused trust issuses. even with people i always trusted i don't anymore. my mom cheated on my dad with his best friend, and thats why they got divorced. my mother ended up marrying this guy and he lives with us now. i don't have any relationship with him. in fact i still hate him to this day. i can't talk to my mom about who i am or whats going on in my life because i don't trust her in any way. it's very hard to be a teenager and not have an adult to talk to about problems. i miss my mom. i live with her but see her about 10 minutes a day. and i see my dad even less now that he doesnt live with me.
My parents did go through a divorce when i was younger, it dd hurt me when i was young. But now that i think about it they did fight a lot. So things are better off. It made me a stronger person and it showed me that it isn't the answer to every fight that married couples have. It is hard on children and i know in my future when i have kids I won't put them through what i went through.
I'm a product of divorced parents...it hurt me a lot when I was younger. It made me very weak when it came to men and other issues. But as i became older, a mother and wife. It made me become stronger and wiser. I used my parents divorce as an eye opener...a lesson learned! I don't use it as an excuse of why certain things happen...or why i happen to act a certain way.
My parents never fought growing up, to this day I still remember the day my mom and dad told my sister that they were sepperating and that they didnt love each other anymore. A few years later both my parents remarried and at the time I hated the ppl who they married, but over time (alot of time) I started liking my moms husband, I knew that he wasnt there to take the place of my dad, that he was there to make my mom happy b/c my sister and I move away and she wanted someone in her life. However I cant say that about who my dad choose, to this day I still dont like her b/c of the choices shes made and made my dad make. Everyday I have a different outlook on marriage. Somedays I love the thought of it and others I think whats the point its only going to end in disapointment so then whats the point? But I do know this the one Im supposed to be with is out there...but it just may take a few ppl for me to find who he is
i came from a family that looks like a bad drama movie, my mom was married 8 times and divorced 8 times, and is now working on marriage 9, and because of this i do not know my father, i have the last name of my stepfather. and my family is very diverse you could say, out of 7 children i am the only one thats not mixed, and i happen to be white, the other 6 kids in my family are even at 3 black/white mix, and 3 hispanic/white mix, i deciced when i was 6, and my mom was divorcing my first stepfather, that i wuold only get married once maybe 2ce, but i would have all my kids from the same man, and no matter how much i disliked their father should we break up, because of my experiance as a child that unless my ex was a danger to them they would have unlimited contact with their dad. im about to get married, but im only 18, of course everybody is worried and skeptical, but im not, im very sure of what im doing and me and my fiance have discussed what to do in different situations, including a break up. having been through all this stuff as a kid i dont think i really have faith in men and i dont trust anyone, its something i struggle with daily, and hurts my relationships alot.
I, my sister and brothers are not the products of divorce but we should have been. We all have the same 2 parents and they fought, abused and did everything 5000 times over parents never should have done. Therefore, divorce is not always a bad thing it might save kids from anguish even when they are knocking on age 40's door...it marks you forever...BUT the experiences taught me to marry later in life, have a child after being married for a number of years to ensure I would be a GREAT mom, get my career in order...marry a man who treats me like the QUEEN I am plus more.
My parents were seperated when I was an infant and on and off till i was five. We grew up with my mom, while my dad was in and out of the picture whenever it worked for him (and it's still that way). I felt like a statistic. Pregnant at 16, looking for love in all the 'wrong' places, & trust issues up a hoot. I have never been the one dumped in a relationship, for example, because I choose to end things when I see a pattern in people that could hurt me, even when I felt I truly loved that person.. I won't let myself be vulnerable emotionally either, so in turn I tend to have sexual relationships that won't be anything more than that so I won't get hurt. Though it's definitely affected me, I am a survivior type. So it's sad, but I am stong because of the hardships of growing up with a single mother & for that I am thankful;
My parents got divorced when me and my brother were very young. I feel it has affected me in a strong way, I grew up with minimal contact and a very poor relationship with my father. It has caused me to make the wrong choices on choosing the wrong men & now my kids are a product of divorce.
yes it did affect me. we moved outa the house i grew up in. i then dropped outa school and got into drugs and alchol. im now almost 21 and this happened around wen i was 16. and we still have not talked bout it with or parents i think its stupid. i now dont beleave in marriage @ all. n all of my relationships have failed and its becauz my mind is always thinkin y stay in this wen nuthin good can happen out of it
I think its sad but I also think people are being very judgmental. There are some people that go out rob, steal, cheat, etc to get money to provide for their families. But to hear people judging her when she has outlined her plight: * Not a financially supportive family. * A dead beat boyfriend that offered her $25 (then said he doesnt know if its his baby). * Even Tyra stating she expected to be angry with her but instead felt sad for her. If I had the money to give Id give her a fresh start. Help her clear her debt, would get a doctor to offer free health services to her & her unborn baby, Id try to get Johnson & Johnson or Wal-Mart to donate a years worth of baby supplies, a nanny service that would baby sit her newborn child so should could work or go to school. To listen to her get chastised about the choice she's made when "no" one else is stepping up to help her is sad to watch. Yeah this is a show but for anyone to sit and watch this show and not be hurting for her situation is truly inhumane. For all of the people judging her has anyone stood up to offer her $5 to leave the Bunny Ranch.... NO not "1" person (besides the creep from the Bunny Ranch) not even Tyra. Walk a mile in that persons shoes or offer them your hand to help them move forward but dont have distain for her or judge her... since all youre doing is still having her walk alone. Please let me know where I can mail a check to help her get back on her feet (it may not be much money but at least itll
