Parents - Seperated

[Mined]

My parents are separated and have been for about 7 years. So that means i was fairly young when they split up, i didn't think much of it and i just carried on with my life. But then i started to get upset about it and i wanted to see my Dad more often. He lives 80 Minutes away so i can only see him every fortnight for 3 Days. I get sad sometimes wishing that they might of worked out what problems they had. I still feel sad now but now all i think about is the fact they wouldn't want me to cry because they have split up. And my parents are happy as they have new partners.
So if your parents are split up and you sometimes feel sad about it, just think would your parents want you to be sad about this.
And the answer is No, they would want you to carry on and get on with your life.
Just because they don't love each other anymore doesn't mean that they don't love you anymore.
You parents will always love you whether they:
1. Together
2. Divorced
3. Over 500 Miles away
You will always have them in your heart you just need to know that they don't want you to be sad. So go on Be happy!

Man you are very very lucky compared to some... for eg:
My dad left when i was only 4 and i didnt speak to him for ages and he moves to america 3500miles away i only see my dad twice a year so consider yourself lucky, im not a crying person i just ****ed it up and held strong for my mom. they both have partners now too
I think its a hard thing to go through but you haveto remember things could be worse you just haveto not cry it will onlky make you think more about it... try to do something else when your sad like a sport...

It's amazing how many people on Habbo and Habbox have Seperated Parents. It's upsetting but you're not allowed to show it as people will get upset who have seperated parents.

Luckily, my parents are happily married but I can't imagine what it must be like having them seperated but as DJ-Cameron says, they will always love you and you will always love them even if you or them don't show it, no matter what distance.

It's upsetting but you're not allowed to show it as people will get upset who have seperated parents.

i don't think that's right, the point of these topics is to discuss things that affect you with other people, so i'm glad someone brought this up and that people are being open about it.

Yeah, it is best to focus on something to take your mind off things.

Look, well maybe some people want to talk about their family - talk
about what it's like. They have a choice whether they want to share
their feelings, that's what this part of the forum is for.. and we are
choosing to use this chance

Well, my mum and dad were together for 17 years and they had
their fights now and then - as most married couples do. They
started having more and more arguements, and something
happened - which I'm not going to say as it upsets me to. But,
they tried to keep things together - tried to keep their family
happy and make them grow up with a mum and a dad.. but,
sadly it never worked out It's very confusing for me, I'm
getting older, but it's a shame on my brother, he gets upset
alot because we only see my mum about 3 times a year. It's
not much, but what makes it worse is my mum and sister have
fallen out and don't talk to each other now - my mum hates her.
Anyway, I first lived with my dad where I live now because my
mum practically abandoned me, my sister and my brother. She
couldn't afford to look after us - my dad had a good paying
job, so he looked after us. But, my mum came up from where
she lives and just TOOK us away, seriously. My dad came back,
found a note and he said he broke down in tears. He went upstairs
and just sat in our bedrooms crying his heart out. Then my mum
couldn't take it, she couldn't have us - too much bother for her. I
think it was just selfishness though. So, back we went to my dads
and from then on, we stayed her. I joined the school again - got
bullied from being moved back and forth.. But, I still see my mum..
not much - but it can't really be helped. My mum thinks my dad is
a psycho, a bad father. But he is the best person in the world -
some people need to realise how lucky they are. If they live with
their mum and dad - it may not be a palace where you live, you
may not have much money.. but family is what counts. If, sadly
you have no family left Then, think about memories, cry now
and then to let it all out - don't hold it all in.. *EDIT* Also, my
mum is engaded, so I'll just hope her marriage goes succesful
and her husband will be happy - and not get the same as what
my dad got

Fights come with Marriage! It isn't uncommon

I know, I said that :s Anyway, that's not even the point in that post.
The point in it was, for people who have been in the same situation as
me. I want them to know they're not alone - and other people know
what it feels like.
