Answer #6

Thanks.

Answer #7

hell no

Answer #8

Welcome and np :-)

Answer #9

No, you have no control over what other people decide to do and I can assure you that they did not decide to break up because of something you did. Listen to some good music. Wonderful by Everclear could possibly make you feel a little better, it’s about what youre going through.

Answer #10

Of course not. They could have been arguing about something else without you knowing.

Answer #11

no. it just happen to be that yu got arrested before they acutal got up and go the divorce …

Answer #12

No!!!!!!

Answer #13

No, absolutely not. I’m really sorry to hear that you’re going through this right now, but it’s not your fault. There are usually many reasons couples file for divorce; most of the time it’s due to a wide range of issues that go on for an extended amount of time. Not just one event or argument.

Right now, your brother is hurting, as I’m sure all of you are. When people hurt, they tend to look for the quickest answer as to why. Most of the time they use the first thing that comes to mind that may have caused tension or anger. In this case, your brother looked at you being arrested as that thing. Him feeling that way, however, doesn’t mean it’s the reason for their issues. It’s just what HE is feeling right now. Their divorce is definitely not your fault.

Answer #14

no i am goinf through the same thing

Answer #15

Coming from a divorced home, I can say its never the kids fault the parents don’t get along. It would take more than you being arrested for them to split. If your brother said that, then punch him in the face and say, “that’s your fault.” (don’t seriously). Parents split up because they can’t get along. Not because their kid misbehaves. However in the future, try not to get arrested.

Answer #16

not at all. dont be upste every thing will be ok

Answer #17

the question should be ‘ would you have got arrested if your parents wernt so dysfunctional’? Its not your fault dude, your parents are at fault for making you feel that way.
