Honey, you can’t stop them. You just have to let them figure it out. The best thing to do is make yourself very busy, so that you don’t drive yourself crazy. Find someone you trust and talk to them, like a counsler or something. The good news is that at first it will be hard, but it will get WAY easier. Just keep your head up, and go day to day. You can make it, just slowly and surely.
there is no way you can stop your parents from getting a divorce. If they no longer love each other that is no fault of your own. In fact them divorcing is not your fault. I think you should sit down with your parents either one on one or together and tell them how you are feeling. You may also want to talk to a school coucilor to see if there is a program offered to children of divorce. Good luck and I am sorry to hear about your family!
I’m sorry about your parents but it’s between them. You should have a talk with your parents about this.
You cant. They are divorcing each other, not you.
well there is really nothing you can do you need to let your parents figure out what they really want….. as far as what you can do to deal with it just know that they both love you and it has nothing to do with you I know how much it really sucks my parents just got divorced and I am 26 so just hang in there it will all work out
Lena,
There isn’t a lot you can do in this situation. You can of course vocalize your opinion and let them know that you want them to stay together but other than that there isn’t much else. You might try and write a letter to each parent and tell them why your life would change if they got divorced. It is also important for you to remember that this doesn’t have anything to do with you. They are the ones that can’t reconcile their differences. Just continue to love both of them and encourage them. Be strong!
Yet another CHILD torn apart becuse of selfishness and pride.
And most people just accept it like its a normal thing.
No values, No morals…..nothing.
Way to go mom and dad.
Im sorry this is happening to you.
The only people who can stop it from happening is your parents. Parents get divorced. It happens to many. My parents divorced when I was 11. I am now 22. It’s hard, but if your mom isn’t happy, then she shouldn’t have to be unhappy.
My parnets are divorced to and now my parnets are getting married with diffrent people and all you can do is nothing.
Go to counseling you can not do anything that is your moms decision and she is the only one that can make that decision so you are out of luck I suggest you just try to move forward I know this sounds hard but you need to do it for your sake. Maybe your mom will be happier and don’t you want to see her happy they will still love you both the same and you do not have to worry about that. But if that is the decision then there is no way you can break that talk to your mother tell her how you feel but do it tell her how it is affecting you and do it fast before it is to late.
well the bad news is its YOUR fault and the good news is you get twice the presents for your birthday and christmas! YAY! J/K its not your fault, just try and be understanding of the situation, and don’t let either one of your parents convince you that the other one was to blame. it just wasn’t meant to be. don’t hold a grudge against either one or it will affect you for the rest of your life.
Oh honey, my heart goes out to you. But you can’t do anything to prevent it. Unfortunately, when parents want to call it quits they rarely think of the effects on their children. It’s a very selfish act, but it’s the truth. Hope you have a close family relative or a guidance counselor at school you can let this all out to. You need to be handled with kid gloves right now. Maybe they can go to marriage counseling and work it out, if not, you need someone special who will listen to you and let you blow off all the pent up anger you have. God Bless you for being smart enough to at least use Yahoo answers as a beginning!! You may not get the answers you are looking for but at least you seem wise beyond your years. Take care, sweetie. You can e-mail me if you want to. My children went through this many years ago, but I still remember how upset they were. By the way, my husband wanted out not me. My two girl our successful, bright young woman today. They overcame this dilemma because I was there to answer their questions and lessen their sadness.
there is nothing you can do..this is between your parents,but you should sit down and talk to them either alone or together and let them know how your feeling.
Also ask to talk to a councelor at school,so that you have someone that can help you through this difficult time.
This is not your fault and its important that you realise this – the most you can do is let them know how your feeling and make sure they know who you want to be with
you can’t stop them
cariño
Im sorry to hear that your parents are divorcing.
you cant stop it from happening,its their decision,dont worry I will say a prayer for you tonight.
This is extremely common in today’s world. It will be hard for you, but realize it’s for the better. It’s hard to grow up with parents that don’t get along, and there will always be tension. You will see down the road that it’s meant to be. My parents divorced when i was a teen, and they are both happily remarried and i have wonderful step families that i couldn’t live without. It’s unfortunate when divorce happens, but continue to love each parent, and support them. You will be juggling between both, but it will all work out. Your dad will need time to deal with this, and you will. There is nothing you should do to stop them, and don’t thinks it’s your fault for it happening.
