Hi, I'm 15... My parents are going to get a divorce. My dad was only ever home on the weekends because he works out of town, and one weekend a while ago when he came home, I heard them fighting. It was like 3 in the morning and I even tried to sleep outside but I could still hear them. I had never heard them fight before. It made me so mad to find out the things my dad did, and later my mom came in my room and asked 'if i heard any of that' I just said no because i didn't want to talk about it. My mom said that my dad told her he hadn't even loved her at all in years. He likes this girl in the city where he works, and would lie to my mom alot and not come see us and just go over to the other girls house. I hate that girl and i've never met her. They tried to 'work it out' and I thought everything would be okay, but that didn't happen, and when my dad leaves on sunday for work, he's not coming back. Some guy is coming over to appraise our house, my dad built it and i've lived here since i was like 5. Me and my mom are going to have to move out to some apartment, and we wont have any money because my mom doesn't have a job, and I don't either. There is hardly any family on my mom's side of the family because she was adopted, only my aunt and uncle and their kid, and my other aunt and her 2 kids. I have a sister but she's 24 so she moved out a long time ago. I have a 6 year old neice too. Anyway... This really sucks, and I don't know what to do about it. As i'm typing this, my family reunion is going on. There is no way I was going to go to that. I'm sorry if this is a long one... I just don't know what i'm supposed to do. ↓

| Just try to hang in there Alysha. You and your mom will get through this trial - together. And I'm sure your mother is a very strong lady and she'll rise to the occasion and make sure you have all the love and support you need. Your father will most likely someday severely regret this decision - but you don't need to concern yourself with that. I'm sorry that adults are so selfish sometimes and make such idiotic decisions. Hang in there and give yourself time to heal. Tomorrow's another day. ↑ |

You have to be strong on your own for yourself and your Mom. For a little while it won't be easy but then you will feel empowered. As soon as you can, get a part time job - maybe through one of your friends or neighbors. Soon you will feel great, you will have some $$ for you and your Mom. You don't need a father that doesn't want to be around. You can do it!
I never had my father to lean on - he was always working. My mom was there and but not there for me emotionally at all.
You will do great! Stand tall and go for it! The world is out there for you and you will be amazed at all your talents and what you can do out in the world. Best of luck! - Barbara ↑ |

| honey take your time, you may hate him now but you wont always feel like this, you and your mom will make a fresh start in a new place and your dad will still want to be part pf your life, dont worry too much about your mom she will be fine eventually and im sure she wont want you to hate your dad, dont worry either about rushing out to get a job you are only 15, you and your mom will be great after all you will have each other. take care Alysha, even if you dont feel it right now i bet your dad still really loves you. ↑ |

| This is really annoying... They were going to get divorced, then they werent, then they were, then they werent, and then they wanted to buy a tourist camp, then a hotel, then a bed and breakfast... now i think their back to getting divorced but i dont know... and i just now found out my dad has like another family or something over there, and he never liked coming to see us for only 2 days a week... and sorry if the title of this sounded dumb, i didnt mean it to sound like that. the reason i put it there was that my life has been pretty crappy, to name a few things, spending months at a time in the hospital when i was little, nearly dying, spending a few christmases there, and everyone mistakenly calling me 'Sir' because im a girl with short hair and im not girly at all, and also my nephew died when he was 2 months old of i dont really know what... sorry... im not trying to sound like im whining, im just kinda... venting or something... ↑ |
