The video is correct i believe in everything except that, there is no healthy divorce. Divorce always hurts kids I’m fourteen my parents divorced two years ago. I hated the divorce more then anything else in the world. It ruined everything, I can’t even be myself at home anymore because of it. The divorce caused me to resent my parents for what i though was them giving up and for their opposition of each other. It’s even affected my relationship with my sisters they now think that i’m their enem
the video was fine until the very end when stating “A Healthy Divorce”..There is NO healthy divorce..there may be those that are less cruel, or ugly, and some that “seem” to go by pretty good,..but it will Always remain within a child a hurt that will never go away…a Right that the children have in having Both parents with them as they grow and nuture.

I hate all u humans that make babies together, then realize life isnt about themselves anymore, & r selfish enough 2 say im out F*** this. THEY R DESTROYING childrens minds. HUMANS SUCK.. AND YES compared 2 all u humans I am an ALIEN AND PROUD OF IT…..
What im trying 2 say is if ur wife dosent want 2 divorce u. Then stay for ur children. Put up with her bullshit 4 the kids. No women out their is gonna b normal.. Their all crazy. Do u really want some dude teaching ur kids his way of growing up. He could b a weirdo or something. Stay & work it out if u can. Take the bullshit we r men. Thats r job. Think about ur 3 beautiful children who r so confussed on what is going on. They love both of u. They want a family. GIVE IT 2 THEM. THEY DESERVE IT!
hello siphilrus, i am a father of 1. my girlfriend left me 6 months after my son was born. I was with her for 5 years. I did not want her to leave me. I wanted a family more than anything. I did not get this. When u leave ur family what makes u think she wont fight with someone else in front of the kids. A stranger will walk into that house & take over ur x & ur kids. They dont deserve their parents fighting. They R PURE innocence. I know its hard but this is life. Its never easy
my parents just had a huge argument… my mom took off her ring… my dad drove away… i cried so hard i started to bleed by the gallon…..
im currently getting ready for divorce, picking up papers on friday, and i hate when my kids are in the room when me and my wife fight, constantly i tell my kids to leave the room and she tells them to stay. I hate this and this is why im leaving i would rather them be with her and me gone. than to stay around and fight in front of them. all my kids are under 6 years old *3 in total. I so want my kids to be happy and see us in harmony apart than fighting together, any help u can give pls do.
My family went through a divorce and my life is actually better because my father abused my mother, brother and me. She finally left him when I was 9 cuz she just wanted to stay in the relationship for us kids, but once he started to abuse us that crossed the line.
Life is better now and even though I don’t have a father figure in my life (he doesn’t contact us anymore) it showed me what not to put up with in a relationship and made me stronger. I am now studying to be a pyschologist.
im 13 ive had a great life so far good parents 17 years of marrige then out of the blue my dad wants a divorce they say it will be an easy divorce however i just cant help but think how different its gonna get.
I am only twelve years old, and my parents have been on the divorce path for around seven years now, but it seems to be getting closer to the end now. I just always feel so stressed out, and i am lost in the feeling of sadness just about daily. I cry and cry, just wishing it would be over, but it doesn’t..and it doesn’t feel any better even after crying. I know…people say it gets better..but being stuck with my parents arguing for so long..I think when will it really get better for me????????
Why are people giving Gagirl101 thumbs down? She’s making perfect sense. If you love someone you don’t want them to be upset. Her parents aren’t together anymore and they’re happy. Isn’t that the right thing?
Yes, that is pretty sad isn’t it?
my parents got divorced when i was 5, im 11 now and im still effected by it i cry for my dad every night, he is never there to kiss me good night anymore. i only see him every two weekends
my parents r gettin divorced and it sucks… im 16 its still bad
I hope your parents stop fighting soon. I know you must be hurting. Parents make dumb choices sometimes, but I bet they both love you dearly. Talk to them about how you feel.

Name calling is a sign of shallowness. I have committed my life to counseling families and couples and I agree with part of what you said, but not the venom. My goal is to help those who have and/or will divorce to create something that is less damaging. I wish you well, and I would appreciate it if you would limit your comments to more positive things. Otherwise, I’ll just have to block you. Healthy debate is good. Name calling and hostility, not.
you should be ashamed of yourself. you are promoting this damage control for what is escentially a tradgedy. divorce is never the answer, no matter how eloquently you put this nonsense. you are a fool !!!! you should be ashamed of yourself. couples should go to counseling- not come up with ways to make the break down of thier families easier.
Me and my brother had recently had our parents divorced. My brother is seventeen and I am 12. They always say it will get better but my mom had moved out and only has a two bedroom apartment. For me, It will not get better. My parents still fight and my dad refuses to pay a weekley check to support my mom. I haven’t seen my brother in a month and divorce sucks. Be lucky that you dont have it like me.
My parents were married 24 years. They’ve been going through the divorce for over a year now. My mom isn’t being reasonable at all and my dad is getting help. I live with my dad. Even though I can’t stand either of them. But I get along with them. It’s sad that people can’t like their fathers anymore.
It’s the same situation as yours, I’m 18 and they’ve been married for.. what? 21 years or so. They’ve “worked” through it, I suppose, but I’d prefer if they divorced. I’m not a huge fan of my father.
Oh I’m sorry. Maybe it will work in the end though? I won’t ask if it makes you feel uncomfortable.
Ohh, I totally understand. To be honest, I’d see it as beneficial if my parents divorced, but that’s not happening anytime soon.
