if your parents spilt up or divorced .......

[ivantheterrible]

when you were a kid, how did you deal with it?
i was 10 when my parents split up. they fought a lot, and one day without warning my mother told me and my sister to pack after our father left for work. i didn't question it, i just went with it. she met up with some dude, still don't remember his name, and we got into his vehicle and left. after a couple of miles i asked, where are we going? then our mother explained. my sister freaks and starts crying and i just felt a lump hit in my stomach and kept quiet. i've always kept quiet in a lot of things in life and felt like an observer and see where it goes.
the guy was nice enough at first, but then turned into a control freak. forcing us to go to church. i always hated church. i later said, i'm not going. i heard him tell my mother, get those kids under control. wasn't long after that he was gone, and my father showed up.
we went back. i look back on it and realize i did not like how my mother did things. i definantly did not like her not wanting us to see our father. they may have not gotten along, but it was wrong to be a control freak to keep us from him.
i now see her as a pathetic individual who is very insecure and does things and lives with others, like my father, just to have a place to live and food to eat. my father may love her, but he is very codependent.
i don't hate my mother. i pity her.

Impossible for me. My mother is dead. She died giving birth to me; and I will always live with that guilt...

Take care,

I was so fucking happy when my mom left my dad the first time. I honestly thought it was going to stick. But it didn't. She's a dumbass. She kept going back to him on and off. No matter what he did. The first time he put me in the hospital she swore that was it. She swore to me, and to my grandpa that she wouldn't bring that lunatic around us anymore. She was full of shit. They might still be together today, but like I said, it's off and on. She's had other boyfriends and shit, but I think that she could go a long way toward getting her shit together if she'd just up and leave him for good. When she goes years without him, she kind of does get her shit together. But that first night, when she told me- when she lied to me about how it was over, I was so happy... it was a false happiness, but damn, it was great.
