Divorce

[restricted NA]

Yes my parents are getting a divorce and the strange part is that i didn't seem to care all that much. I already hate my father ( don't call him that anymore usually by his first name George). Worst person, i just want him to disappear, not die or anything just to go. I'm starting to get the reality of it all, i feel sorry for my mum she is just on overload. Just wanted readers to know, im sure many other have gone through this so i guess it make me feel a bit better but im not really sure :confused:

My parents divorced when I was 5 years old, so I guess I know how you feel. Even though you don't really get along with him, you should still keep a good relationship with your father. Something might come up, and you might need his help for something, you never know. I guess I'm happy that you're not to worked up over it. Lots of people get really depressed when their parents divorce. Good luck to you man.

My parents divorced when I was 7. It didn't affect me, I remember my brother and parents both crying. I didn't shed a tear. It's not like they were dying. I didn't find it big of a deal. Good that you're not. But like the OP said, you should keep a good relationship with him. Try to look past anything. You'll never know when you'll need him or just want him there. He's your dad, don't hate him. He probably loves you so much. Just try to overlook it. And be there for your mom, if she's hurting too. She'll appreciate it. There always needs to be someone with a strong head on their shoulders during times like these.

Thank you , but im afraid i will never speak to him because he scares me, he was very verbally abusive and has kind of a alcohol and drug problem. He just won't change.

Have you told him that what he's doing is affecting your relationship with him? If not, you should. It could benefit you two so much in the long run.
