Yeah. At least 9 out of 10 of all my friends' parents are divorced.
And now mine are going to be too. Just to let you all know.
I'll probably just re-post my lj post later...

| My parents got divorced when I was 7. Dad was married once before that, and has since re-married to a lady I really, really dislike. |

I threatened to do it, and now I'll do it.

As you may or may not know, my mother and father have been bickering endlessly for the past year or so. Not that things were so hot before that, either, they weren't. For my dad's part, he's basically been a good sport about it, not initiating any fights at all really, and basically acting stoic when my mother was giving him shit. And oh, the shit she gave him. He's a money-grubbing bastard, he smokes to spite her, he's cheating on her, he doesn't care about her, he doesn't care about my sister and I, according to her. None of these things are true. My father is a fine man who is, in my opinion, physically incapable of doing any of those things.
The fact of the matter is that it's basically my mom's fault. Something either in her psyche or her genetics bars her from leaving a problem alone, which is unfortunate because in many cases, that is the best thing to do. Likely, when all this is through, they will cite "irreconcilable differences," as everyone does, and I will frankly call it bullshit. For my father's part, he tried to reconcile. He tried everything within his reach to do so. My mother, almost evilly, perpetuated animosity between the two of them to the brink of... where they are now.
At divorce's threshold. I suppose that's something you can't pass until you get past the doors, until the papers are signed, until both parties agree, until custody is doled out. Of course, I have nothing to worry about. I won't be shuffled from house to house because I'll be on my own, thank god. My sister, though. My sister will be a fragment of some eighty percent of the child populace with divorced parents. I can name maybe five of my friends whose parents are still together. I always liked being one of them, and I think Iris did too. She doesn't know yet, and to be honest I don't have the heart to comfort her when she does. I don't know how the two of us are going to manage. |
Some things have changed since posting that. My sister was informed last Friday, and while she was horribly upset before that, she's sort of come around now in a way that's not entirely un-strange to me. On Friday, the ordeal was so heart-wrenching that I felt like I was going to throw up. Now, she's actually looking forward to having each parent by themselves, which for some reason is weirding me out even though I know it's just her way of dealing with the situation. It's really not my place to criticize.
The one thing I omitted from that post was my thoughts on the hypocrisy of the whole thing. My parents, for as long as I can remember, would always push "marrying one person, the person you love, one time." And now here they are, and I can only imagine the two of them will remarry, making their whole shpiel totally moot, and making me completely jaded about marriage. Maybe that's a good thing, I don't know.
I have no idea how you guys can help, so I guess I'm just venting.
