Since my parents divorced when I was 5 (I'm actually more upset about it now than I was then, which is a little weird), I was wondering about y'all. How many of you have divorced parents? How did it affect you? Do you have any kinds of step or half families now? I'm just curious.

They're separated. Divorce isn't allowed in my country. And my dad has another family, though I'm not gonna acknowledge that, since his new 'wife' is a bitch, and his 'son' is a little monster. Both of them seem to aim to make my life hell, more than it already is. I really don't like them, and its bad enough that I hear homophobic stuff from both of them...

I don't think my parents are actually divorced, but they've been separated since I was 4. It bugs me sometimes, but I actually stay with my dad every weekend, and surprisingly my parents still get along decently, so it's not all bad. My mom has had a boyfriend for at least 5 years now, and he's pretty much become part of our family, but he doesn't live with us. I'd never consider him my step dad or anything, but he's like another parental figure in some senses...

I am on father number 3 
My father passed away when I was real young. Then my mother was married for about 5 years to a guy who abused both of us, he was arrested and they are nor divorced. She recently married an awesome guy, and I now have twin step brother and sister.

My mom and dad divorced when I was around 4-5 or something. It affected me a whole lot. My dad does have a wife, who I don't like calling step-mom. I like my dad's wife's family though. They are nice.

My parents separated when I was so little I barely remember. I guess the different part of my story is my dad is the nice, caring parent and my mom is kind of the crazy bitch. =\

To live is to do what makes you happy not others. If what you love is different then stand against the tide of "normality" never stop fighting for happiness.

My parents weren't divorced but they didn't live together due to the fact my dad was a drunk. I can't really remember being sad or anything, I saw my dad a lot but it was never very pleasant.

My parents divorced when I was like two, but I don't really know if I would prefer them back together. I don't really like my family too terribly much either way, so...
I am a devil...of a butler.

My parents have been married for over 20 years. Almost all of my friends parents have been divorced and I can't help bought realize how lucky I am. I have a brilliant example with which to model my own relationship from and that makes me very happy.

My father left before I was born. It made me not want to trust anyone for the rest of my life. I'm currently with my mom and my second stepdad. Because of all this I can say "I'm an only child, but at the same time, I'm the 2nd oldest of 8 children."

My parents divorced when I was 8 years old...lot of fighting before that...I can't say I ever remember a time when I lived with happily married parents.
Of course when I bring that up to certain people, they claim it as proof that not having a stable father figure growing up is somehow what 'turned' me queer...

My parents got divorced when I was 1, but then after it went through changed their minds and stayed together (they were still technically divorced though). They got married again when I was 12.

My parents ended a rather bad marriage of twenty years in January. My mom is moving back home to Arizona and my dad is moving several hours east come summer, so I won't have a home in the place I grew up any more.
our home which defines
us is elsewhere but not
so far away we have
forgotten it:
this is just a place.

My parents got divorced when I was 9..I was living in Spain at the time and I started doing really stupid things, like smoking, drinking, stealing..I grew out of it all and realised I was being a prick..My dad left for two years and got a new family..Now I see him occasionally..I don't think I'd want to see him more even if I could. :/

My parents got divorced when I was nine when my mom got sick of being yelled at and generally bossed around by my father, packed me and my three siblings in our car, and drove halfway across the country to Oklahoma, which is where I live now.
My dad moved here about a year later and my parents tried to work things out, but it just ended up with a huge fight (it was in the middle of a church, too-) that I still refer to as The Fight.
Then later they got an official divorce, and so we mainly live with our mom (I love my mom, she's the best) and see our dad every other weekend. Since I'm fourteen that means I can choose if I want to go to his house or not but I have to go to court with a justified reason, of which I have many. I'm going to go to court, I can't come over to his house any longer. He doesn't treat me like an individual with an actual brain and sense of judgement, and I can't stand that. Plus he lies all the time. And he's talked about my mom....nobody EVER talks about my mom like that and gets away with it.

Wow... Everyone's stories are so different... Some sad, some happy...
My parents are still together and they don't fight much either. They're very loyal to each other and our family so I don't know what y'all have been through but I think this thread is very interesting because you can see everyone's background and I haven't really heard anyone talking about their background a whole lot on here except for their parents not knowing they are LGBT or whatever.
