Divorce

Hi, My parents have always been fighting - like all parents do. But it’s been more recent, more harsh and it’s been taking longer for them to get back together. This time, their not really getting back together. They are telling me and my older bro (18 now) that they are getting a divorce, I didn’t take this seriously because they always say that and it never happens. My mom says this time it’s for real, so did my dad. He said they are getting divorced some time this year. I’ve been thinking quite a bit. I’ve been trying to picture it in my head, trying to make it feel real, what would I do. Honestly, I don’t think I care that much about it. Since I was little I was closer to my mom than my dad but I still love him lots. It’s just that if they are so unhappy about this marriage and decide to get divorced, I don’t think I’m going to feel that sad. I just keep thinking that my parents don’t love eachother but they both will still love me and my brother very very much and it’s not like I won’t get to see my dad ever again. I actually think it’s better than them fighting everyday. Is it a bad thing that I’m okay with my parents getting divorced? Should I be feeling sad or angry? How come I don’t seem to feel like it’s a bad thing? IS it because it feels like it’s not actually going to happen?

no. that’s not a bad thing. it sounds like your parents getting a divorce is a Good thing because of how often they’re fight. and sense you’re used to them fighting all the time, you never really saw them ‘love’ each other. so I’m sure it’s kinda like they were never Really together - Together in the first place. …pretty much what the guy above me said. He has a better response. lol
