Parents - Seperated

[ddred]

Yeah my parents split up too. All I remember is waking up one morning when I was about 5 and my mom was gone..
I live with my dad and my step mom now, their the best people in the world. There starting to fight, its nothing knew though, everyone fights. If they broke up I don't know what I'd do, I'd probably go crazy and start getting in lots of trouble,
I still love my real mom alot, and I have a step dad now too he's real cool.
I see my real mom about 10 times a year on account my sister had a baby.

Aww guys, it's a terrible feeling when this happens. My dad said to me,
my sister and brother "Iam never going to tell you why me and your mum
split up" I found this very unfair, he said never. But, one time I got angry
at my mum and called her a word, which I didn't know the meaning of,
and she burst into tears. She told my sister that was what she was - the
word I had called her. I nearly died, not literally, I was in so much shock.
To think, it was my dads best friend. I don't know anyone who could do
such a thing. Nothing is impossible though, and the truth has to come out
- when it does, it hurts like hell. Well, it does for me. Growing up without a
mum has been REALLY hard for me, as me and my dad don't get time to talk
about girly stuff. All of my friends understand things, but I don't - they all
have someone to talk to. I get really upset about this, but my dad says I
can talk to him about anything. I just hope you guys are all ok, and if you
ever want to talk, I know you don't know me.. but I like to share feelings,
show how I feel. Then just chat to me, I'd understand Some people think
I'm wierd, but I'm not. I'm just a confused teenager in a big world who needs
to think for herself and try as hard as she can

Aww I have been moved to god knows how many schools. It's not
fair, I was born in Germany because my dad was in the RAF. I get bullied
for that - it's not my fault, I'm not nazi. I've lived in about 18 houses, I
never get to settle down anywhere, then it's "C'mon we're moving again"
But now, since my mum and dad are divorced (they waited like 3 years
for the divorce to come through) Iam actually starting to get confident,
thinking - this is where I will stay until Iam older - get a job, and move
somewhere where I can relax, chillout but also go to college/uni. I don't
want to be like my mum and dad. Never! They both left school young,
well, my dad had to because of his family. That's another thing my mum
ruined, she's a pyscho. Stopping my dad, me, sister and brother from ever
seeing his family. He is a doormat, he lets people walk all over him. I think
it is better me knowning what my mum did - why they split up, because if
I didn't know now, they would never tell me. I would go throughout my life
wondering and wondering. One day I would just explode and I wouldn't
be able to take it no more. My mum and dad still treat me like a baby, they
try to be all nicey nicey, I'm not thick I know they are 'rubbing' up to me.
I hate it! It's nearly my birthday and they call me baby names.
I'm mature in real life, they don't see it. They aren't interested in me no one is. My dad
doesn't even know my voice - he has to do everything though, me and my
sister help out - but he shouts at us. Then later moans that he has to do
everything. He confuses me, I confuse myself.. the whole world confuses me!
What's the point in the world ever being created? If there were no world,
what would there be? Nothing..? Emptyness? Maybe you only get one life
no one knows until it's their turn to go.. unless we never find out what
happens - why it happened.. who we all are. I just blab on and on, that's
just the sort of person Iam. I can't stop when I get started then I seem
like a complete fool. Do you know that feeling? Sorry, I've ran tottaly off of
topic.. where was I..

Oh yeah, about my mum and dad calling me baby names. Well it really
annoys me I tell them to stop it but they don't. They are so immature!
I hope things just start looking better for me - I figure out the words to
say, I tell people how I feel. Work out my life, and try my best to help
others along the way.. I love helping, I love talking to people about
their problems, I feel shy at first - telling people my feelings. But not
with you guys, I feel safe around you all. Even though I have no idea
who you are - you could be a murderer, god!? How am I meant to know?
I'm not. Life is full of mysterys. That's where I have to try and figure
them out, or by pass them if they cannot be solved..

[AngJum]

Hmm, yes that's true - I should show them how much it irritates me.
Yes, I know maybe that was a bit selfish of me to say that but it's
not fair that I made friends, then had to leave them and move
somwhere else. I also wish forums were like this aswell, maybe we
should bring it up somewhere - a place to talk about family life and
problems. Unless there is already a forum for that on here? -Not sure-

I'm actually a little bit scared aswell, but on the other hand I just
want to move out and live on my own for sometime, and go to
Uni or college, I want to do well in life - I try hard and I know I can
achive what I want

[AngJum]

Exactly my point - but, if you think something is impossible,
you should never give up. I've learned from that, and yes
I agree if my mum and dad were together, I'd be a completely
different person, I wouldn't live where I do now. I wouldn't
know any of you guys..

[AngJum]

;o I'm sure you'd be greatly missed, but you and your dad are
more important. Wherever you chose to live, I hope it's the
right choice and hope you get on well, I sort of had a choice
where to stay - and that was with my dad. It's hard, but we
can try our best to make as much as our family as possible
And actually start to talk to my dads side of the family, and
also with my mums family aswell. One more thing about side of
familys', my mum said if I ever got married, I wasn't allowed to
invite my dads' family and if she did - she wouldn't come. I think
that is really low, she's meant to be my mum, she's meant to love
me and if she doesn't come to my wedding just because of them
she obviously isn't mature enough to appologise to them. Or even
try and make me feel loved by her..

Well, My parents are getting divorced, Ive had an awful life
Well, When I was born, my mum abadoned me on my grandmas doorstep when I was 6 months old, I then got adopted, But that didnt work, And I stayed in a care home for about 7 years, I then got adopted, but I think that they are going to get a divorce
They're always fighting - and my dads starting "beating up" my sister I dont know what to do?

[AngJum]

Aww Pringle Sometimes I think I've had a bad life. Maybe I'm
selfish, alot more people are worse off than me. Sometimes my
dad hits us if we have been "bad" but others he does it for fun.
I don't know what I'd do if I were you - about the father sister
thing, I'd just sit in my room and cry and feel sorry for myself.
Even though that isn't the right way to go about it

I have read through the posts, and have things to add:

1) Ang why is your text like that? Only half the page wide.

2) My parents are still together. So I have not experienced the divorcing of parents, and hopefully, from what I've read now, I won't have to.

Right, my essay...

Some of you guys have had a rough time. Honestly, they sound like something from films. I wasn't aware things like that actually happened. I mean, I know families split up, but some people said they were dumped on doorsteps (did you have a lightning scar? ), literally kidnapped from their current parent to live with another, among other things. I can't believe it. You've opened my eyes.

I'll be back with more comments later.

[AngJum]

My text is like this because I've just always done it like that. But I wont from now on if it bothers you.

And yes Jacko, things like this happen.

literally kidnapped from their current parent to live with another

It happened to me, it can happen to anyone
