[B][COLOR=darkblue][size=1]Good lord. And I thought [i]my[/i] ex was bad! Jesus. That sucks.

I am in the process of getting divorced right now. I worry about how it is going to affect my son, who is not even born yet. I still haven't decided if or when I'll let Mike see him. But I had to leave Mike, though, otherwise I really believe he would have killed me at some point. And I don't want my son growing up around a maniac like that, he'd probably turn out just like his father! [/size][/COLOR] [/B][/QUOTE]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=dodgerblue]You don't need him. I'm sure you can raise your cute adorable little son just fine! ^^ Your going to be a great mom.

But anywho, my parents are separated. They have been separated for 11 years. I live with my mom right now and her boyfriend Randy. We have lived together for about 9-ish years. But my parents won't get divorced, because my father doesn't want my mom to marry Randy! How selfish. Lol. Well ya, there's another chapter in my life story.

They divorced when I was about four.
I'm over that bit now.
But I'd rather not say more.

[B][color=green][size=1]it won't be to hard on him. when you've never had a father it's not that big a deal. anyway, good luck raising him.[/size][/color] [/B][/QUOTE]

[color=darkblue]Actually, it will be hard for him. When a child sees other children having good times with their fathers, they yern (sp??) for that. Believe me. I've gone through it.

Lady Macaiodh, I'm not saying you're a bad mother, or will be a bad mother, I'm just saying, there are things only fathers can give. And some of those things are very important.[/color]

My parents aren't divorced, but I have many friends with divorced parents. It seems to me that they don't try to think so much about the fact they could be living with both of there parents, but there just happy when they get to see the parent they don't live with. I don't know if I would be able to handle a divorce though. I'm sure my parents will be together forever, but if for some reason they weren't I don't know what I would do. I used to worry about it when I was little because every once in a while they might get into an argument, but that's normal. Everyone has to get in an argument sooner or later if they live together.

In my opinion, you don't nessecarily need a father for those things. Any adult that will love you as much as your mother does and/or listen to you and give you advice will do.
And believe my opinion on this; I've been through things like that too...Although my father was around through my childhood(and technically still is), I was the one that chose to shut him out, and it was for my own good.
Not everyone that can stick it in is the kind of father we are discussing...
I know mine isn't, and I know that there are plenty of people out there who are the same.

If my parents weren't divorced, I probably wouldn't have even looked at the thread, to be honest. So yes, they are.

They've been divorced for a few years now, after 20 years of marriage. Of course, they never told me and my brother until 2000, because they didn't want to upset us. Ironically, we were more upset with them being together and fighting than being split.

How I coped. Lol. My coping was [b]bad.[/b] No one else here follow what I did. I got suicidal, and did bad things. Unfortunately, I have the scars left to remind me of it. After a while, I got help and things calmed down.

Now-a-days, my parents are good friends, and we (my brother and I) go back and forth between houses as much as we like. Which is simple, because they only live 10 minutes away. Sometimes things go awry, but no situation ever ends perfectly.

[color=green][size=1]i've never really had a father and it was no biggy to me. of course, i may be different in some way. and i do have my religion, but when i was younger my religion was nothing more than something to keep me from watching cartoons on sunday. i don't think it'll be too hard on him. as long as you raise him right and don't abuse him or anything, he'll be fine. but whatever you do, don't let him become like harry. god knows we don't need another one of those.[/size][/color]
