I'm almost 20 years old, I don't live at home for most of the year, I've known it was going to happen for a while, yet I still spent about half an hour crying this evening after my dad told me he's moving out Monday and my mom called and said she wouldn't even be spending Christmas at home. Here it is, almost midnight, I haven't slept in a while, I spent all day on the road driving, and now I'm going and running to an internet forum to talk about my problems... man... life sucks.

My best friend's parents are in the process of divorcing now as well (or maybe they've finished the paperwork, I'm not entirely sure). I'm sorry to hear this, man, I feel for ya.

Aww, baby, I know how this feels. I'm sorry. My parents got seperated a few years ago. *hugs*

I feel for you man. My parents have been divorced since I was three. I guess its hard to think about it at first... but you'll get used to it. Its hard, but its life. Your parents will be happier for it.

What really sucks is that they've been married for 30 years, but no, they have to separate now. It's the holidays, I'm visiting home for a few weeks, and they couldn't wait at least until I leave again? I wouldn't mind it that much if I was still a state away...

And yeah, they'll be happier apart, but this seriously sucks, especially now that they've decided we can't even spend Christmas as a family...

The timing does suck, yes. My parents were married for 23 years and seperated in a June. I don't know, but I doubt that the pain would be any less if this had happened to you in December or in May. And I don't know if you would have been happier if they'd done it while you were still in New Mexico. I think that you would have resented them doing it while you were away. It's not something that is better or worse depending on the circumstances, I don't think.

edit: TG

It could be more interesting down the road, like with me. My grandma (dads mom) died a few days ago, I got in a car accident a week ago I can't afford to fix the car (my roomies car) one of my roomies is moving out for the next semester and I need to find another in the next week or move to another place, my parents are still filing their div papers, seperated a year. Their splitting up the business (auto shop) I grew up with which was about the only business in our crap little town. Now I'm going home in two days after finals to a funeral and seperate christmases, one with my dad's girlfriends family, one with my mom and siblings, maybe one with my moms fam but maybe not as the family has been kind of drifting since my grandpa died a few years ago and my grandma has been depressed since then maybe another get together with my dads family which will be nice and dull since most my cousins (older than me) have moved away away and won't be back for christmas, so its just my oldy uncles and aunts who are very religious. And my friends wonder why I don't like christmas.

At least I got to see Blade: Trinity yesterday, damned good movie, and I usually dont' like action movies.

Yeah, I guess the timing is never not going to suck, I just wish it wasn't happening here and now.

I don't like Christmas either, at all (aside from the fact that I'm athiest), but now it's looking like we won't get any kind of Christmas at all. Bah humbug.

Though their relationship is coming to an end, but it doesn't mean that your relationship with them is ending, they will still be your parents no matter what, even if they are not together as a couple...your mom will still e your mom and your dad will still be your dad. It is not a death, though I can understand that it would feel that way.

Meh, if someones churchy enough to be uber happy at christmas cause of god and stuff, their probably churchy enough to be unusually happy the rest of the year. Besides, christmas is just another capitalist money grab holiday, first year a LOTR movie didn't come out in theatre this year, now christmas just sucks.


IT NEEDS TO SNOW... NOW... OR NOW.. NOW! NOW!
NOW, NOW! ...

I can top that. The year I was 14, my father died in April, my dog died in July, my grandmother died 3 weeks before Christmas, and I found out Christmas Eve that my mom and I were moving across the country. Man, what a FUN holiday season that was.

To the OP: Man, that totally sucks. :( I'd say good luck, but it sounds like a no-win situation. I'll be hoping for you anyway, though.

You: Boy, mom, I'm glad to be spending christmas here in good old Maine this year.

Mom: About that, heres your presents..

You: Ohh, boy, what did I get? Cowboy boots? A bible? "Graemr" by GWB?

Dude, you deserve it. Ban someone. You'll feel better.

Heh, on the bright side, it is definitely snowing here. And yeah, divorce is much better than a death... it just is still... unpleasant.

*snuggles TA* yeah, life sucks. How's your life going now though btw?

Dude, you deserve it. Ban someone. You'll feel better.
Are you volunteering? :D

Are you volunteering? :D
I considered it, but then I figured how far I would take volunteers if I were in your position.


No, seriously. :)

I'd ban myself, but I think I wouldn't be able to get moderator status back after that (except by bugging the Jolt Admins).

Ah well. It's 1:15, I should be off to bed. You're right though, just thinking about it cheered me up ;)

I'll volunteer for a day forumban if it makes you feel better. Plus, it'll give me time to do all the things I forego to piss around on NS.

My parents got divorced when i was in 7th grade, theyw ere married for 20 years so i understand how you feel. But it's not the end of the world, and sometimes it's better this way, i know that after my parents got divorced my dad was alot happier afterwards and there was far less yelling all the time.
