I have two. My son is 8 and my daughter is 4 now. They're great. Thankfully my daughter was young enough that the divorce just seems like life is this way and always has been. My son though still sometimes asks if me and his dad will get back together. It's tough but this is better this way.How are your kids - if I recall you had one or two?
Gotta be hard. But from what I've e-known of you, you probably stuck around much longer than you should have for the kids, so for you to be able to finally leave probably means it is best for the kids.I have two.

Thanks. That is what happened. And I too am glad I'm finding happiness. I've got a good job, my own place, freedom. Also I'm starting a project with a friend, I'll be making a YouTube channel. It's going to be fun.Gotta be hard.

Well it will be a little while before I'm ready for that. I want to get my production quality where I want it first. I am literally starting from scratch. Also to be fair the crowd here has never been to welcoming of my presence. But I will post them. I'm not sure what the direction will be yet, I know I'll do some movie reviews, maybe read some of my short stories that I've written, maybe just a blog about my life. Lol we'll seeBe sure to share the videos here!!
You'll get there! Many youtube channels have thousands of subscribers across many different platforms. Just have to find your niche and do something you enjoy!Well it will be a little while before I'm ready for that. I want to get my production quality where I want it first.

My brother is five years younger than me. There are things I remember about my parents before, during, and after their divorce that he has no idea about.I have two.

Was it hard on you?My brother is five years younger than me. There are things I remember about my parents before, during, and after their divorce that he has no idea about.
Yeah. Leaving my dad's, or when he would come visit and leave, was always rough. Didn't seem to bother my brother as much.Was it hard on you?
How old were you when your parents divorced?Yeah. Leaving my dad's, or when he would come visit and leave, was always rough. Didn't seem to bother my brother as much.
I remember being thrown in the car late at night, going to look for my dad. A couple years ago I asked where the bar he used to hang out at was, and he says "you remember that?" I kind of got a laugh out of it. Mention it to my brother and he just shrugs.
We moved back here before I started third grade. Seven or eight, I guess.How old were you when your parents divorced?
My son was 5. Maybe it won't be so hard on him.We moved back here before I started third grade. Seven or eight, I guess.
Edit - I did the math. I was eight.
It won't be. And even if it is, the hardship he endures is better than the life he would have had with the ex.My son was 5. Maybe it won't be so hard on him.
I agree. All we used to do was fight. But my ex has a new gf and they fight. So he still has to put up with it, just not from me.It won't be. And even if it is, the hardship he endures is better than the life he would have had with the ex.
If you and the ex are closer in distance it might not be so hard. My dad's side of the family was two hours away. That was hard, too. We only saw the others a few times a year.My son was 5. Maybe it won't be so hard on him.
We live in the same trailer park. The kids see both of us many days a week.If you and the ex are closer in distance it might not be so hard. My dad's side of the family was two hours away. That was hard, too. We only saw the others a few times a year.
No we both enforce the punishments. And we both encourage our kids. We don't fight in front of them. Hell I don't even talk about him with his real name. I call him ed when I'm talking about him with my parents. That way the kids don't know who he is.That's good.
We figured out early that if we were bad our dad wasn't going to drive two hours just to discipline us Plenty of stern talking-to's over the phone though.
Thankfully my ex has moved across the country.We live in the same trailer park. The kids see both of us many days a week.
