Can't picture my Mother and Father not living in the same house, not being together for Christmas, all of that...things like that. What is it like being a child of divorced parents? I know I may be makin too big a deal...but I need to talk to someone, please.

Up until I was like 9, I thought I had the perfect life.
My rents divorced when I was 3, so I don't really know about normal family life. My mother was like 17 when she got married to my father (he's a couple o' yrs older) & she was pregnant with my older bro when she was 16 so she was obviously not old enough to know what she was doing from the start. My father has always been known as a bit of a gigalo & now that i'm older my nan tells me stuff about how he used to be out with different women & steal from my mother & stuff, which I don't really know how to react to, as I don't wanna be in the middle of things. He's changed now & he's been married to someone else for a while now which is quite difficult for me at times as I feel she tries to stop him from treating me & my bro as his kids ya know, we don't get as much from him as normal kids get from their parents. In the past my mother has had to hold down 2-3 jobs to clother/feed & pay off the house & only in recent yrs have I learned to appreaciate her. I love my father, but I just hate what he's put her through but she's happy now, & thats all that matters. There's no real way to explain how one deals with divorce, we all have our own ways I think. But you have to think about how this is gonna affect your parents too, not just think about yourself even though that is a factor. Like jome has said, just let your rents sort this out between them & support them along the way because if they stay together & they're not happy it will only create more tension & unhappiness. Just look out for your l'il bro & keep ya head up.
my parents never were married so it's hard to relate BUT i think it's equally as painful or maybe more painful if one day your dad just gets up from the coach and says "i'm going to the store real quick i'll be right back" then you don't see him ever again for the rest of your life
P.S., you're dad's gonna talk and cry your ear off about how much the situation sucks. Get ready for it. lol.
